Issue with Snort-1.8.1-RELEASE ./configure

[LorenMarcus () netscape net ( )]

I am attempting to install snort-1.8.1-RELEASE with the XML output plugin on an x86 Redhat 7.1 machine.  I can't get 
past configure.  I installed ntp4.1.0.  All seemed to go well.  I installed libxml2 and libxml2-devel via rpm.  All 
seemed to go well.  I installed libidmef-0.6.3.  All seemed to go well.

When I run:

/home/myaccountnamereplacedhere/archive/snort/snort-1.8.1-RELEASE/configure --enable-idmef 
--with-libntp-libraries=/home/myaccountnamereplacedhere/archive/ntp/ntp-4.1.0 

The following is returned:
---snip---
checking for openssl... yes
checking for gzopen in -lz... yes
checking for /usr/local/include/libxml/tree.h... yes
checking for xmlNewNode in -lxml2... yes
checking for ntp source directory (includes and libraries)... yes
checking for /usr/local/include/libidmef/idmefxml.h... yes
checking for newIDMEF_Message in -lidmef... no
configure: error: libidmef library (idmef) not found in /usr/local/lib


I run:  
#ls -l /usr/local/lib/*idmef*
