event.h error compiling Barnyard-0.1.0-beta4

["Crow, Owen" <Owen_Crow () bmc com>]

I've seen two previous references to this same problem with no answers on
both FreeBSD 4.4 and Redhat 6.2:

I'm trying to compile Barnyard-0.1.0-beta4 on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 system.
I've installed libpcap-0.6.2 and snort-1.8.3 manually without errors.  This
is what happens when I try to install Barnyard:

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)

I also have "testing" (woody) Debian system that configures and compiles
without error.  The "./configure" output is identical between the two
systems according to diff.

Is there a way to get gcc to show which files get included in a compile so I
can compare the files between my working system and the broken system?
