Hi, I am trying to get started with Suricata, and eventually be able to contribute. However, I get a cbindgen error while installing even though I already have all Rust dependencies installed. I have attached the config.log files and the error logs(both as a screenshot and a link) as I am unsure which is the preferred way for posting error logs. Please let me know so I can do it the right way the next time. Please find the error log [here](https://carbon.now.sh/?bg=rgba(171%2C%20184%2C%20195%2C%201)&t=solarized%20light&wt=none&l=application%2Fx-sh&ds=true&dsyoff=20px&dsblur=68px&wc=true&wa=true&pv=56px&ph=56px&ln=false&fl=1&fm=Hack&fs=14px&lh=133%25&si=false&es=2x&wm=false&code=%2520%2520%2520%2520Compiling%2520der-parser%2520v4.1.0%250A%2520%2520%2520Compiling%2520kerberos-parser%2520v0.5.0%250A%2520%2520%2520Compiling%2520snmp-parser%2520v0.6.0%250A%2520%2520%2520Compiling%2520suricata%2520v6.0.0-dev%2520(%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252FElantris%252Fsuricata%252Foisf%252Frust)%250A%2520%2520%2520%2520Finished%2520release%2520%255Boptimized%2520%252B%2520debuginfo%255D%2520target(s)%2520in%252041.82s%250Amake%2520gen%252Frust-bindings.h%250Amake%255B3%255D%253A%2520Entering%2520directory%2520%27%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252FElantris%252Fsuricata%252Foisf%252Frust%27%250Arm%2520-f%2520gen%252Frust-bindings.h%250Acbindgen%2520--config%2520%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252FElantris%252Fsuricata%252Foisf%252Frust%252Fcbindgen.toml%2520%255C%250A%2509--quiet%2520--output%2520%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252FElantris%252Fsuricata%252Foisf%252Frust%252Fgen%252Frust-bindings.h%250A%252Fbin%252Fbash%253A%2520cbindgen%253A%2520command%2520not%2520found%250Amake%255B3%255D%253A%2520 ***%2520%255BMakefile%253A573%253A%2520gen%252Frust-bindings.h%255D%2520Error%2520127%250Amake%255B3%255D%253A%2520Leaving%2520directory%2520%27%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252FElantris%252Fsuricata%252Foisf%252Frust%27%250Amake%255B2%255D%253A%2520*** %2520%255BMakefile%253A546%253A%2520all-local%255D%2520Error%25202%250Amake%255B2%255D%253A%2520Leaving%2520directory%2520%27%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252FElantris%252Fsuricata%252Foisf%252Frust%27%250Amake%255B1%255D%253A%2520 ***%2520%255BMakefile%253A490%253A%2520install-recursive%255D%2520Error%25201%250Amake%255B1%255D%253A%2520Leaving%2520directory%2520%27%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252FElantris%252Fsuricata%252Foisf%27%250Amake%253A%2520*** %2520%255BMakefile%253A909%253A%2520install-full%255D%2520Error%25202%250A%250A%2520%250A%2520~%2520%2520cbindgen%2520--version%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%25E2%259C%2594%2520%2520base%2520Py%2520%250Acbindgen%25200.14.6%250A%2520~%2520%2520rustc%2520--version%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%25E2%259C%2594%2520%2520base%2520Py%2520%250Arustc%25201.46.0%2520(04488afe3%25202020-08-24)%250A%2520~%2520%2520cargo%2520--version%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%25E2%259C%2594%2520%2520base%2520Py%2520%250Acargo%25201.46.0%2520(149022b1d%25202020-07-17)%250A%2520~%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%25E2%259C%2594%2520%2520base%2520Py%2520%250A%250A).

Are you doing the ./configure and make as a user, then doing `sudo make install`? If so, depending on your distribution, `sudo -E make install` might help. ---

Yes. I tried that too but it doesn’t seem to work. There seems to be problem with cbindgen(or my rust ecosystem maybe?). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling cbindgen but I get a [spurious network error](https://carbon.now.sh/?bg=rgba(171%2C%20184%2C%20195%2C%201)&t=solarized%20light&wt=none&l=application%2Fx-sh&ds=true&dsyoff=20px&dsblur=68px&wc=true&wa=true&pv=56px&ph=56px&ln=false&fl=1&fm=Hack&fs=14px&lh=133%25&si=false&es=2x&wm=false&code=%2520~%2520%2520cargo%2520install%2520cbindgen%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%25E2%259C%2594%2520%2520base%2520Py%2520%250A%2520%2520%2520%2520Updating%2520crates.io%2520index%250Awarning%253A%2520spurious%2520network%2520error%2520(2%2520tries%2520remaining)%253A%2520failed%2520open%2520-%2520%27%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252F.cargo%252Fregistry%252Findex%252Fgithub.com-1ecc6299db9ec823%252F.git%252FFETCH_HEAD%27%2520is%2520locked%253A%2520Permission%2520denied%253B%2520class%253DOs%2520(2)%253B%2520code%253DLocked%2520(-14)%250Awarning%253A%2520spurious%2520network%2520error%2520(1%2520tries%2520remaining)%253A%2520failed%2520open%2520-%2520%27%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252F.cargo%252Fregistry%252Findex%252Fgithub.com-1ecc6299db9ec823%252F.git%252FFETCH_HEAD%27%2520is%2520locked%253A%2520Permission%2520denied%253B%2520class%253DOs%2520(2)%253B%2520code%253DLocked%2520(-14)%250Aerror%253A%2520failed%2520to%2520fetch%2520%2560https%253A%252F%252Fgithub.com%252Frust-lang%252Fcrates.io-index%2560%250A%250ACaused%2520by%253A%250A%2520%2520failed%2520open%2520-%2520%27%252Fhome%252Fsumera%252F.cargo%252Fregistry%252Findex%252Fgithub.com-1ecc6299db9ec823%252F.git%252FFETCH_HEAD%27%2520is%2520locked%253A%2520Permission%2520denied%253B%2520class%253DOs%2520(2)%253B%2520code%253DLocked%2520(-14)%250A%2520~%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520101%2520%25D1%2585%2520%25203s%2520%2520base%2520Py%2520%250A%250A%250A%250A%250A) with cargo install rust. ☹ ---

This error `/home/sumera/.cargo/registry/index/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/.git/FETCH_HEAD' is locked: Permission denied;` is likely due to some files not being owned by you (did you use `git` as `root`? Try `sudo chown -R sumera /home/sumera/.cargo` ---

So we have an issue where when using tools installed by Rustup, they are not seen under sudo. This is fixed in the 6.0 beta’s, but the workaround for now would be something like: ```auto sudo chown -R user:user . make sudo env PATH=$PATH make install-full ``` Make sure to replace `user` with your username that is building Suricata. This should work in sudo environments that will never pass the PATH through like Fedora and CentOS. ---

Hi, I was able to install cbindgen, thanks, @Jeff_Lucovsky ! However there still seems to be some problems with rustup. I followed the instructions but still get the error : “no override and no default toolchain set”. ![suricata3o](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/suricata/original/1X/4c0ae1d92227b8fc77c57eb1ae84e7b617ebbfc8.png) I tried reinstalling rustup and setting the default as suggested in some places: ```auto ~ ~ rustup default stable ✔ base Py info: using existing install for 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' info: default toolchain set to 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu unchanged - rustc 1.46.0 (04488afe3 2020-08-24) ``` but this doesn’t seem to work either. ---

Can you provide the commands you used to get here? Including any uses of sudo or switching to root. ---

Hi, Sure. I deleted Suricata and ran the following from scratch: ```auto git clone https://github.com/OISF/suricata.git cd suricata ./autogen.sh ./configure sudo chown -R sumera:sumera . make ``` I got a `libhtp` error here. So I installed that. ```auto cd libhtp ./autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install ``` ```auto cd ../ ./configure sudo chown -R sumera:sumera make ``` I got a `rules not installed as update rules not available` error. I figured this might be because I didn’t use `make clean`. ```auto make clean sudo env PATH=$PATH make install-full ``` This led to the error I described previously; I tried troubleshooting with reinstalling and installing rustup again but that seems not to work either . :(( ---

I don’t believe this should be an issue with git master which it looks like you are using. What distribution are you using? ---

I am using Pop OS. Actually I tried it on a different Ubuntu Budgie laptop too but am getting the same error. Maybe I will just reinstall Rust and give it a shot. ---

Is there a way to install the rules separately? I do see a rules folder in my suricata directory with the following contents: ```auto ~/E/suricata/rules master ?1 ls ✔ base Py app-layer-events.rules http2-events.rules Makefile.in smtp-events.rules decoder-events.rules http-events.rules modbus-events.rules ssh-events.rules dhcp-events.rules ipsec-events.rules mqtt-events.rules stream-events.rules dnp3-events.rules kerberos-events.rules nfs-events.rules tls-events.rules dns-events.rules Makefile ntp-events.rules files.rules Makefile.am smb-events.rules ``` Something else I noticed is that the `suricata-update` folder does not have a `Makefile`. My understanding is that `automake` uses `Makefile.am` to generate `Makefile.in` and `configure` uses `Makefile.in` to generate the `Makefile`. But `./configure` does seem to run correctly on my pc. What is going wrong here? 😕 ---

Nothing really wrong. Suricata when checked out from git does not include `suricata-update`, so you’ll need to bundle it yourself when building from a git checout. Our CI system uses a command like the following to bundle `suricata-update`: ```auto (cd suricata-update && curl -L \ https://github.com/OISF/suricata-update/archive/master.tar.gz | \ tar zxvf - --strip-components=1) ``` Unfortunately its not as simple as just `git clone` like you can do with libhtp. ---

Hi, I tried that, and I am not yet sure what exactly I did after that, but it seems `sudo make install-full` worked. (Yay, at least no errors this time). However, when I run `/usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata.yaml -i eth0 `, I get the following error: ```auto /usr/local/bin/suricata: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/bin/suricata: undefined symbol: htp_config_set_lzma_layers ``` I also don’t seem to have the following files `classification.config` and `reference.config` files in my suricata folder. I am so sorry if I am creating unnecessary noise here. ---

Can you try `ldconfig /usr/local/lib` and see if that helps? Some Linux distributions need it, other’s don’t. `make install-conf` (which is part of install-full) should have installed `classification.config`, etc along with `suricata.yaml` in `/usr/local/etc/suricata`. ---

I did `sudo make install-conf`. I still can’t find the .config files but at least suricata does run. Thanks! ---

I was able to solve this problem by installing suricata-update with pip3 and then moving the executable into /usr/bin/ Even though I was assuming make install-full would look in ~/.local/bin (which is on my PATH) where suricata-update gets placed. Additionally, I had to modify the makefile - the file has these lines: install-rules: LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH=(libdir) (DESTDIR)(bindir)/suricata-update \ --suricata (DESTDIR)(bindir)/suricata \ --suricata-conf (DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/suricata/suricata.yaml –no-test --no-reload and they were commented out, so I took out the comments. ---

Were you installing from git or the release archive? The release archive bundles `suricata-update`, but builds from git do not.
