libdnet is installed but can't be found by snort

Question

I'm running Fedora 22 and just installed snort:

sudo dnf install snort

When trying to run it I get:

$ snort 
snort: error while loading shared libraries: libdnet.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Yet I have the latest version of libdnet and libdnet-devel packages installed:

$ locate libdnet
/usr/lib64/libdnet.so
/usr/lib64/libdnet.so.1
/usr/lib64/libdnet.so.1.0.1
/usr/local/lib/libdnet.so.1.0.1
/usr/share/doc/libdnet
/usr/share/doc/libdnet/LICENSE
/usr/share/doc/libdnet/README
/usr/share/doc/libdnet/THANKS
/usr/share/doc/libdnet/TODO

I'm not sure what to do from here, does anyone have any suggestions?

Edit

$ rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" snort
snort-2.9.7.3-1.x86_64

Solution

I also upgraded recently to Fedora 22 and experienced the same issue. I resolved it by creating a symlink called libd.1 which points to (in my case) libdnet.so.1.0.1:

ln -s /usr/lib64/libdnet.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib64/libdnet.1

After that Snort worked

also works perfectly on snort-2.9.16-1.x86_64 on CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)
