The manual specifies the following command on page 45 :

shell> ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp -with-jabber -with-libcurl

If you copy paste this into a terminal compiling doesn't work because the last two paramers don't have two minus signs. The difference is hardly noticable depending on the font. (The same goes for the other commands). You get this error message:

configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: invalid host type: -with-jabber
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: invalid host type: -with-libcurl

So please change it to:

./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl
