After this, it worked:

    $tar zxvf /root/snort-packages/libdnet-1.12.tgz
    $cd libdnet-1.12
    $ ./configure "CFLAGS=-fPIC -g -O2" --prefix=/usr
    $make
    $make install
    $ yum install libdnet-devel
    $ locate libdnet
    $ ln -s libdnet.1 libdnet.so.1
    $ cp /usr/lib64/libdnet.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libdnet.so.1
