Little install dilemma

Hello ppl, I'm perplexed...and...in need of your assistance. I have been able to install snort on my machine at home with no probs. I felt confident and wanted to install it at the office where I can do real monitoring on a production network where I can learn intrusion detection confidently and with the blessings of the powers that be in my department. Well things did not go well during my installation, I have looked at all possible documentation to no avail. It looks like something is missing from my RH 7.1 installation but I'm not sure what it is. Would you folks please look at the screen prints [enclosed] of the results when I type the commands ./configure, make and make install. To someone more savvy in "C" than I, it would probably be obvious why Iam not able to install snort on this machine. As always your input to resolving this little install dilemma will be gratefully appreciated. --snip-- root@localhost snort-1.8.1-RELEASE]# ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... found checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for gcc...
