I encountered some problems while running configure during the linking of the pf_ring libraries. I found another listserv post that suggested setting LIBS="-lrt -lnuma" prior to running configure. This does indeed get me past the problems linking pf_ring, but later on I believe it causes issues with linking libpcap and file. The necessary packages are installed, and if I compile Suricata without pf_ring support, everything configures and compiles as expected.

Is the file magic dev installed , if not -> apt-get install
libmagic-dev (on Ubuntu as suggested from the configure output) and
then redo the configure..... again.
