Description

If the required unix-socket packages are not installed (libjansson4 libjansson-dev python-simplejson),
but 

configure --enable-unix-socket

is used - the installation will not fail during the "configure" phase.

It will correctly show that unix-socket is not enabled, but it will not stop/fail during the configure phase.

It would be better if it properly errors out during configure.
Like for example nfq does :

ERROR!  libnetfilter_queue library not found, go get it
from www.netfilter.org.
we automatically append libnetfilter_queue/ when searching
for headers etc. when the --with-libnfq-includes directive
is used

Using Suricata 1.4.3

Thank you
