Building Snort with IDMEF plug in - libtool problem

[cuong dinh <dinhvietcuong () yahoo com>]

Dear All,
I am trying to set up Snort with IDMEF Plugin to have Snort send IDMEF message to a management system. But I keep 
having the problems with autotools that I could not understand the error, which is related to 'libtool'. I've also 
googled and read manual of GNU Libtool but there is no sight of a solution even after trying with 2 different OSes 
(Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop , Fedora 19 - both on VMWare environment).
Could any one experienced with it or any experts on autotools help me with this? Thanks a lot !

The error message after I applied the IDMEF Plugin patch to Snort-2.8.3.2 (the plugin only supports for that snort 
version):
#make

The error message shows in Ubuntu:
