Dynamic Preprocessor Starter Kit on v. 2.9.1.0 compile error.

[enrico <enrico.papi () cern ch>]

Hi all,
this is my first post in the list.
I trying to use the Dynamic Preprocessor Starter Kit 
(http://www.snort.org/snort-downloads/dynamic-preprocessor-starter-kit/)
because it can help us in developing our dynamic preprocessor

We are using version 2.9.1.0, compiled with debug options.
After extracting dpx.tax.gz in a separate directory and setting the snort path variables,
we receive an error in the build.sh compilation process (the whole configure part is clean)

"

"

in particular:
../libtool: line 2075: dpx.c: command not found


the dpx.c source file exists in the src/ directory
it can be that this toolkit is incompatible with 2.9.1?

any suggestions are welcomed.

another brief question: can a dynamic preprocessor be linked against an external library like ssl?

thank you.

Enrico.
