compiling 1.8.1 on a SuSE v7.2 box

[geoffrey <geoffrey () ticom com>]

Hi all,
        I'm trying to build snort-1.8.1 on a SuSE 7.2 box, and configure
is throwing up some errors. The options I give are:

--prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc/snort
--with-postgresql=/usr/include/pgsql 
--with-openssl=/usr/include/openssl
--enable-idmef
--enable-smbalerts
--enable-flexresp

and it complains about not being able to find a postgres header file:

**********************************************
  ERROR: unable to find postgresql header file (libpq-fe.h)
  checked in the following places
**********************************************

libpq-fe.h is in /usr/include/pgsql, but configure doesn't seem to see 
it. So, I remove the postgres stuff. Now it complains about openssl.

**********************************************
  ERROR: unable to find openssl headers (crypto.h x509.h x509vrfy.h pem.h 
ssl.h err.h)
  checked in the following places
        /usr/include/openssl/include
        /usr/include/openssl/include/openssl
**********************************************

Why configure is looking in /usr/include/openssl/include as opposed to
/usr/include/openssl as I told it, I don't know. I verified that the files
are in the /usr/include/openssl directory. I haven't even gotten to the
idmef stuff - which will probably make configure choke again! Any tips on
how to get this monster to play nice? Thanks.
