Greetings,

I am installing Snort and running through the configuration, I have seen a lot of people with a similar problem. After editing the snort.conf file, I exit, save, and run a quick test (snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf). The test runs great until it hits a check for the dynamic preprocessors:

Code:

I assume the solution is to ensure you:
    A) merge Snort with all the needed USE flags required for your system:
    Code:
     USE="postgres mysql flexresp selinux snortsam odbc prelude inline dynamicplugin timestats perfprofiling linux-smp-stats flexresp2 react sguil gre" emerge -pv snort

    B) Ensure your dynamic plugins are there and symbolically linked.:
    Code:
    ls -l /usr/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor/
    libsf_dcerpc_preproc.a
    libsf_dcerpc_preproc.la
    libsf_dcerpc_preproc.so -> libsf_dcerpc_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_dcerpc_preproc.so.0 -> libsf_dcerpc_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_dcerpc_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_dns_preproc.a
    libsf_dns_preproc.la
    libsf_dns_preproc.so -> libsf_dns_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_dns_preproc.so.0 -> libsf_dns_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_dns_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.a
    libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.la
    libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.so -> libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.so.0 -> libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_ftptelnet_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_smtp_preproc.a
    libsf_smtp_preproc.la
    libsf_smtp_preproc.so -> libsf_smtp_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_smtp_preproc.so.0 -> libsf_smtp_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_smtp_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_ssh_preproc.a
    libsf_ssh_preproc.la
    libsf_ssh_preproc.so -> libsf_ssh_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_ssh_preproc.so.0 -> libsf_ssh_preproc.so.0.0.0
    libsf_ssh_preproc.so.0.0.0



I tried the above and still, "ERROR: Misconfigured dynamic preprocessor(s)"... Any help is welcome!
