configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long long), 77

I am trying to install BRO-1.3.2 and I get the following error when I run ./configure:

checking for union semun… no
checking for struct sembuf… yes
checking for struct sockaddr_in.sin_len… no
checking for long long… yes
checking size of long long… configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long long), 77

I can install version 1.2 without problems. Does anyone know how to solve this error? The error also happens
with 1.4

Thanks,
Jimbo

Hi,

I am trying to install BRO-1.3.2

On what platform and using which compiler version?

and I get the following error when I run ./configure:

checking for union semun... no
checking for struct sembuf... yes
checking for struct sockaddr_in.sin_len... no
checking for long long... yes
checking size of long long... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof
(long long), 77

Could you post or send to me the relevant part of config.log? (Do a
quick search for "long long" in it; in your case it should be right at
the end of the file.) Usually what happens in situations like yours is
that an earlier problem spills over into the flags passed into
subsequent build checks.

Fyi, Jim has indicated to me that he solved the problem by changing his
dynamic linker search path, which suggests the problem was indeed rooted
elsewhere. While I know no further details, it's likely the termcap
linking problem that has crept up before:
