>Description:
The ports patched version of security/snort fails to build erroring out with the following message:

checking for strlcat... yes
checking for strerror... yes
checking for __FUNCTION__... yes
checking for floor in -lm... yes
checking for pcap_datalink in -lpcap... yes
checking pcre.h usability... yes
checking pcre.h presence... yes
checking for pcre.h... yes
checking for pcre_compile in -lpcre... yes
checking for dlsym in -ldl... no
checking for dlsym in -lc... no

   ERROR!  programmatic interface to dynamic link loader
   not found.  Cannot use dynamic plugin libraries.

===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to clsung at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/security/snort/work/snort-2.6.1.3/config.log" including the output
of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide
an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).

Attempted to contact maintainer but he hasn't replied since I last sent him a message (2-3 weeks ago).

>How-To-Repeat:
Try and compile ports patched version of snort under 7-CURRENT.
>Fix:
	From what I can tell configure operates properly, with snort unpatched using the local files instead of the system files:

[root at hoover /usr/ports/distfiles/snort-2.6.1.3]# ./configure --enable-pthread --enable-perfprofiling --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/usr/local 
# SNIP
checking for strerror... yes
checking for __FUNCTION__... yes
checking for floor in -lm... yes
checking for pcap_datalink in -lpcap... yes
checking pcre.h usability... yes
checking pcre.h presence... yes
checking for pcre.h... yes
checking for pcre_compile in -lpcre... yes
checking for dlsym in -ldl... no
checking for dlsym in -lc... yes
checking for u_int8_t... yes
checking for u_int16_t... yes
checking for u_int32_t... yes
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
configure: creating ./config.status 

I can't seem to determine what the differences might be though:

[root at hoover /usr/ports/distfiles/snort-2.6.1.3]# diff configure /usr/ports/security/snort/work/snort-2.6.1.3/configure

But then again this package pulls in its own ltmain.sh file, instead of using the system wide one (that's my hunch for where stuff's not meshing).

I've posted a complete side by side diff at: http://students.washington.edu/youshi10/posted/ltmain.sh.side_by_side.diff

Any help would be more than appreciated in solving this annoying problem.

Thanks!
