SUMMARY: gcc problem in compiling Libpcap & Snort under Solaris 8

Hello, SunManagers:
Thank you for the prompt and helpful replies. Many people indicated that 
there are some header files missing. Lars Hecking pointed out the key 
reason:"You haven't installed SUNWhea. Use pkginfo to find out." He is 100% 
right here. After SUNWhea is installed, libpcap is compiled without any 
problem.

Libpcap is for Snort. I got new problems in installing Snort. The 
'configure' process is fine, but 'make' process failed. Here is the output:

# make
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.   -DBSD_COMP -I/usr/local/ssl/include 
-DENABLE_SSL  -g -O2 -Wall -c snort.c
In file included from snort.c:45:
snort.h:31: pcap.h: No such file or directory
snort.h:32: net/bpf.h: No such file or directory
In file included from snort.c:45:
snort.h:69: pcap-namedb.h: No such file or directory
In file included from snort.h:194,
                  from snort.c:45:

decode.h:48: pcap-namedb.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `snort.o'
#


I have read the INSTALL file as well as the Snort Discussion Archive 
carefully, but did not find the solution. Would someone help me on this? 
Thank you in advance!
