Two other things to try:

1) Under your Snort source directory in src/inline.c, try adding the 
following line just under #include <libnet.h>:

#include <net/ethernet.h>

If this does not work, try:

2) In src/inline.h, just under #include "snort.h", try adding the following:

struct ether_addr
{
     u_char ether_addr_octet[6];
};

and see if that works.  Let us know.

Thanks,
Todd

This time I left off the other --enable-* statements and just went with 
the following configure command (still pointing to all my libs and incs 
just in case):
./configure --enable-inline 
--with-libpcap-includes=/usr/local/snort/include 
--with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/local/snort/lib 
--with-libpcre-includes=/usr/local/snort/include

        David,

        My only guess is that "struct ether_addr" is not getting defined
        on your
        system.  Try editing libnet-headers.h (most likely in
        /usr/include/libnet).  At or around line 391, remove the #if
        (!__GLIBC__) / #endif lines and see if that solves the
        problem.  If not,
        please repost results.

        Thanks,
        Todd
