Trouble building snort (any version) on glibc-linux systems....

[Eli Stair <eli.stair.lists () attbi com>]

I'm having serious difficulty compiling snort for some reason.  
Problem:
When compiling from source: versions 1.8.7,snort-stable or snort-current 
snapshots, on either a MDK 8.2 w/GCC3.1.1 or RH7.3 w/gcc2.96, make seems 
to stop compiling.  Below are the output of ./configure and the tail end
of the make process, and the make install output.  Installed is libpcap-0.6.2 
on both systems.

gcc works fine otherwise for all other source builds.  Any ideas what is
hanging it at this phase?  I'm unsure as to why, but it seems to be building
the win32 system.  When make install is run it only looks in the win32
directories.  

Ideas?

Cheers,

/eli
