[netsa-tools-discuss] installaing analysis-pipline libsnarf won't find libprotobuf-c

[Tony Cebzanov]

asad,

 From this error, it appears that you're running a version of Ubuntu 
that's using the 1.x baseline of libprotobuf-c, which made 
backwards-incompatible API changes that snarf hasn't yet been adapted 
to.  You can verify this by running:

     $ apt-show-versions libprotobuf-c0

and I suspect you'll see a version 1.x, where snarf can currently only 
work with versions 0.x.  From our previous discussions, I thought you 
were running Ubuntu trusty (14.04) which provides the 0.15 release 
that's compatible with snarf 0.2.4.

There is a branch of snarf in development to work with the newer 
dependencies found in distributions such as Ubuntu 15.x, but I do not 
have a release date for you at this time.

-Tony
