I would be surprised if someone hasn't written a script to do this
automagically since all you are doing is checking out source and running a
couple of commands. But if you are using Snort in a production
environment, you probably should stick with release tar balls as opposed
to getting the latest from CVS which may or may not work correctly at any
given time.

after you check out snort, cd into the snort directory and run
'autojunk.sh' this will get you the configure script that you can run.

see above for solution
