Silly newbie question
OK... so this is my first visit to PCmech via my Linux box at home. Woo Hoo!
So, I'm looking for some apps... one of which is Snort. I download it, no sweat. I read some of the MAN and readme files. It says "1.) *** Make sure you have libpcap installed!!! ***" OK... now being a Windows guy for the past 20 odd years, I know how to find out what I have installed pretty much over there... in Linux though? I recall checking dozens of insatllation package options, but if I could tell you what I had for dinner last night I MIGHT be able to remember if libpcap was installed. So, the short version of the question is, how do I find out this kind of stuff??? |

Hi,
Open a terminal and type "whereis filename" or you can type "slocate filename" (no quotes) hit enter, and it will look for your file. OOPS!
