    Snort - failed to load snort_dynamicrules

    Hi All,
    Good Day!

    i have installed snort 2.9.3.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
    i follow this guide: http://www.snort.org/assets/158/snor...llguide293.pdf

    my problem is i failed to load snort_dynamicrules
    ERROR: Failed to load /usr/local/snort/lib/snort_dynamicrules/imap.so: /usr/local/snort/lib/snort_dynamicrules/imap.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
    Fatal Error, Quitting..

    i'm googled, and this error may occur because of compatible issue on dynamicrules (32bit version) and OS (64bit).

    i need help to solve this.
    Thank you!

    Hi All.

    after i read more, i found that the cause of the error is on the type of rules im using.
    because of im using a 64bit of ubuntu 12.04, i need to have dynamicrules for 64bit too. so in the snort.conf, i point the rules to the the 64bit rules, which is locate at */so_rules/precompiled/Ubuntu-10-4/x86-64/2.9.3.1 [ at * whrere you extract the rules file ]. =D

    its took me two days to figure it out. lol
