Installing snort on OS X I am on the lookout for an IDS/IPS solution for OS X 10.6. I tried compiling snort for 10.6 and I'm having trouble compiling a dependency, DAQ.

The error I get is:

mv -f .deps/daq_ipfw_la-daq_ipfw.Tpo .deps/daq_ipfw_la-daq_ipfw.Plo

Any hints on how I can solve the problem?
Any links you can point me to where I can get a build for snort that works on OS X?
Any other IDS/IPS solutions you might point me to? Thanks!
Use MacPorts. It's machine work to chase dependencies, not yours.
