Yet Another Compiler-Compiler; a program that takes a grammar for a
machine-parseable language - such as the expression language supported
by libpcap - and turns it into C code for a parser for that language.

Yacc isn't *required*; there are a couple of compatible alternatives,
such as GNU Bison and Berkeley Yacc.
If you have downloaded the standard source for libpcap, and have run the
configure script, it should have found Bison if you have it installed on
your machine. If not, it might default to Yacc, in which case it'll
fail to build if you don't have it.

Most if not all Linux distributions should have a libpcap "development
package", containing a pre-compiled version of libpcap and the header
files necessary to compile programs that use it.
Furthermore, there may well be pre-compiled versions of Snort.
I would suggest looking for a pre-compiled version of Snort. If you
don't find one, or if it's for a version of Snort older than the one
you want, I would suggest looking for a pre-compiled version of libpcap;
you might have to ask Mandrakesoft what its name is (I don't know what
its name would be).
If you want to compile libpcap from source, I would look for whatever
package in your Mandrake release includes Bison, and install that
package. Then I would run
make distclean
in the libpcap source directory, and run the "configure" script again.

You might want to try to arrange that Hotmail put a "From:" or
"Reply-To:" header on your mail, so that, in order to reply to that
address, the person replying to your mail doesn't have to manually edit
the "To:" address of their reply. (I am not familiar with how Hotmail
works, so I don't know how one would do that.)
