Just wanted to give an update on this.  I am trying to install snort properly and am getting multiple issues.  One of 
the main issues is the install of pcre.  When I install version 8.37 and the install snort, then issue snort-V, it is 
reflecting an older version of pcre than 8.37.  I have found that file pcre.h inside the /usr/src/pcre-8.37 has the 
correct values.  Inside the snort folder is file that calls up pcre.h named sp_pcre.h.  How do I get snort to recognize 
the correct install and how can I verify that its using the correct one?

Very green at all this and really appreciate any help you can provide.

Sorry forgot to include capture:
 Issued the configure:

Abbreviated previous output:

config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-zlib

Configure help does not have an option for it:


[root@SHAFM10ASWINT1 snort-2.9.8.0]# ./configure -help `configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of 
systems.

Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as VAR=VALUE.  See below for descriptions of some 
of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:
  -h, --help              display this help and exit
      --help=short        display options specific to this package
      --help=recursive    display the short help of all the included packages
  -V, --version           display version information and exit
  -q, --quiet, --silent   do not print `checking ...' messages
      --cache-file=FILE   cache test results in FILE [disabled]
  -C, --config-cache      alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
  -n, --no-create         do not create output files
      --srcdir=DIR        find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX

  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [PREFIX]

By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify an 
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

For better control, use the options below.

Fine tuning of the installation directories:
  --bindir=DIR            user executables [EPREFIX/bin]

Dear Snort Community,

I am trying to install Snort 2.9.8.0 and get the following warning:
