configure.in:143: warning: underquoted definition of SN_CHECK_DECL

or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/a...ending-aclocal

Install libtool package? And next time please use descriptive thread titles.

And to go along with with unSpawn said about subject titles, don't mark things as urgent. We volunteer our time here, so telling us to hurry because YOU have a problem, isn't very good..

Also, if this is TRULY urgent, contact RedHat support...you're paying for 24/7 tech support with your RHEL purchase. They're available for "urgent" issues. If you haven't paid, consider loading CentOS.

also if this " Install libtool package" dose not solve it that error is from a bad m4 you might want to run
to make a new configure and m4's

and next time - please use a descriptive thread title .
like for this one
" make error in snort "
also why are you not installing it from the RHEL repos that you paid for ?
