Thanks Russ. Sorry I was on vacation and cannot test the suggested changes. I will test them and will let you know with 
issues if any. 
Thanks,Waseem

Something is broken in your libtool file.  Try starting over again.  Explode the tarball in a new directory and edit 
build.sh to comment out the auto foo therein.  The commented code should look like this:

...
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$SNORT


#libtoolize --automake --copy
#aclocal -I m4
#autoheader
#automake --add-missing --copy
#autoconf

./configure --with-dpx-includes=$SNORT/src/dynamic-examples/include --prefix=`pwd`
...

Then follow the steps in the README.  If you get the same problem, send me your libtool file (from the top level dpx 
directory).


If you get a compile error with the latest version of Snort, you need to #include "sf_types.h" to src/dpx.c before the 
line including snort_debug.h.

1. Step by step guide to writing own pre-processor. 


2. I tried to build the dpx and followed the steps at

Kindly help me with this issue.
