I'm trying to compile the latest git version of Suricata on a powerpc based appliance today. Previous versions have been successful but 1.1.1 and beyond are producing the following.<br><br>./configure and all ./configure --with-libpcre-libraries= --with-libpcre-includes= options I've tried also produce the same:<br>
<br>-- <br>checking host os... installation for powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu OS... \cok<br>checking pcre.h usability... no<br>checking pcre.h presence... yes<br>configure: WARNING: pcre.h: present but cannot be compiled<br>configure: WARNING: pcre.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?<br>
configure: WARNING: pcre.h: see the Autoconf documentation<br>configure: WARNING: pcre.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"<br>configure: WARNING: pcre.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result<br>

<br>any suggestions,<br><br>josh<br>
