When i compile snort from src i get this:

checking for dnet.h... no

   ERROR!  Libdnet header not found, go get it from
   http://libdnet.sourceforge.net or use the --with-dnet-*
   options, if you have it installed in an unusual place
# Add here commands to compile the package.
/usr/bin/make
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/myPackages/snort/snort-2.7.0.1'

so I think it is needet... but when the libdumbnet is compatible i check
the debian sources from snort (outdatet version)
