Emerging snort, with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS either x86 or ~x86, results in a build failure in the configure step, apparently because snort's configure expects a particular version of libnet in each case, and the most-recent version of libnet in portage (either x86 or ~x86) is too new for them. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge libnet (with or without ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86) 2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 emerge snort 3. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge snort Actual Results: In the x86 case: checking for libnet version 1.0.2a... no ERROR! Snort with --enable-flexresp will *only* work with libnet version 1.0.2a, go get it from http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/libnet/ ********************************************** ERROR: unable to find libnet 1.0.2a (libnet.h) checked in the following places /usr/include ********************************************** make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

what version of libnet ? (`qpkg -I -v libnet`)
vivace root # qpkg -I -v libnet net-libs/libnet-1.1.0-r3 * net-libs/libnet-1.0.2a-r2 * [hmm, interesting] dev-perl/libnet-1.16 * [Changed summary; tcptraceroute bug is unrelated and is already listed: Bug 25351]
the solution to your problem is `emerge =libnet-1.0* -u` then try to emerge snort again *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 27218 ***
