Essentially what happens is that squid compiles everything in the
"squid-1.1.9/lib" directory into a library which it then links into the
main body of the squid code.
If you type "make" in "squid-1.1.9/" it tries to make the stuff in
"squid-1.1.9/lib" into a library. If it fails though, it tries to create the
rest of the program and dies. (You will notice that it uses "-L../lib")

You will probably find the real error further up in the compile....
If Duane didn't get it right of the mark.

Duane - Is it possible to make the failure to make libmiscutil.a
fatal? I had this problem yesterday when hacking around with the stuff in
"lib".
