      [jimp@files ~/tmp]$ cp /usr/local/www/files/packages/amd64/8/All/libdnet-1.11_3.tbz .
      [jimp@files ~/tmp]$ tar xzf libdnet-1.11_3.tbz 
      [jimp@files ~/tmp]$ file lib/libdnet.1 
      lib/libdnet.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), not stripped
      [jimp@files ~/tmp]$ file lib/libdnet.so
      lib/libdnet.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), stripped
      

      It's not a 32-bit/64-bit mismatch. (Though feel free to check your own /usr/local/lib/libdnet.1 using 'file' the same way).

        I have the exact same problem. I am on AMD 64 as well. Exact same version listed by the others. I have had numerous issues with the box since updating Snort to the latest package. I have also lost LightSquid - getting Server 500 error.

        my system was running perfectly until I applied the latest Snort update.

        Any ideas what we can try?

          Hi, I have the same problem with unsupported file layout, snort does not start any longer.

          Just installed Pfsense 2.0.1 in a virtual box. Downloading package snort (2.2.1) fails. But snort dev package installation is working…

            I am having the same error, running 2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64)  snort version 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.2.1

            Is there a known fix for this yet?

            Thanks.

              FYI,

              I tried removing every single package installed post core install 2 months ago. I also cleaned up all config files and other files and folders left behind after the uninstall. I reinstalled just Snort by itself. I set it up right from scratch and when I started the interface I got the exact same error. It seems as if this is a problem with the Snort package or a dependency it is installing.

                Hello

                I have the same problem as reported by many others, after upgrade of snort to 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.2.1, Snort won't start
                anymore. When trying to start it from the command line i get:
                /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libdnet.1: unsupported file layout

                I'm running 2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64)

                Checking a few things:
                file /libexec/ld-elf.so.1
                /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, stripped
                file /usr/local/lib/libdnet.1
                /usr/local/lib/libdnet.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, not stripped

                file /usr/local/bin/snort
                /usr/local/bin/snort: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for FreeBSD 8.1, stripped

                Why is Snort a 32bit executable? in a supposedly 64bit package??????????????????

                Hope someone comes up with a solution soon.

                      remove/reinstall and see if this is OK now. I uploaded a new 64-bit binary package a few minutes ago.

                        It runs now, but there's a new error:

                        Jun 19 13:36:19	snort[5114]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_13270_re0/snort.conf(324) Unknown output plugin: "alert_pf"

                        It only goes away if I disable the "Block Offenders" option, but I don't want to do that. That option is the main reason why I want to use snort.

                                  Great! It's working now, thank you! :)
                                  One last thing… the logs are all duplicated, both in the Alerts menu and in the System Logs too. Not only the alerts but all snort logs including the snort startup messages.
                                  Regular non-snort logs are fine.

                                    I'd start a new thread for anything that isn't directly related to the error in the subject line.

                                      Uninstalled, cleaned up left-over files and reinstalled from package installer.

                                      Still getting /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libdnet.1: unsupported file layout

                                        What exactly did you clean up? I had that problem but now it's fixed for me (found new problems though).
                                        You may want to try doing a pkg_info to see all installed packages and then manually removing every related package with pkg_delete -f. The important packages you should remove are libpcap, libnet, libdnet, daq and of course snort as far as I remember. Also make sure you're not behind a proxy which may be caching the old files.

                                          IT WORKED!  I can't convey how much I appreciate the help after ten days of trying to get snort working again.  I guess that one of the several packages I installed in that time had a bad libpcap, libnet, libdnet or daq package which wasn't being overwritten with a new snort install.

                                            All is working great again. Would like to Thank jimp and the other Snort developers, that are working hard on the Snort package. Will donate again soon :D

                                            Edit: To be clear, I'm talking about only this issue. Having other Snort issues similar to others on this forum.
