Snort 1.9.1 'configure' fails

[Neil Dickey <neil () geol niu edu>]

I apologize if this has been dealt with recently, but I searched the
list traffic back to last September, and didn't find the problem
addressed.  I've checked the documentation and looked at the innards
of the script, but had no success.  I even downloaded a fresh copy
and tried again, but still no joy.

The 'configure' script for Snort1.9.1 fails with the output:

  ./configure: test: argument expected

The full record of the 'configure' run is appended below my signature.

Here is my invocation of 'configure':

  ./configure --enable-flexresp \
              --with-libnet-libraries=/usr/lib \
              --with-libnet-includes=/usr/include \
              --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/local/lib \
              --with-libpcap-includes=/usr/local/include

( The libraries and includes are in fact in these locations. ;-)

Platform particulars:

  Sun-Sparc, Solaris 2.7
  libnet 1.0.2a
  libpcap 0.7.2
  gcc 2.95.2  ( Not really relevant; never got there ... )

I would be most grateful for any help anyone could offer.
