Yes, sir.

Yes, I am building it from source.
I'm building it on RH8.0 because IPCop doesn't have a compiler.
After building it, when I check the symbols in the squid
executable using nm, I get:
   $nm squid | grep GLIBC_2.3
    U __ctype_b_loc@@GLIBC_2.3
    U __ctype_tolower_loc@@GLIBC_2.3
    U __ctype_toupper_loc@@GLIBC_2.3

>Are you running Squid as a transparent proxy?

No. All the clients have their browsers/messengers configured
to use the proxy.

I'm using an IPCop box as my proxy & firewall.
It's a P3 box with 20 GB hard disk. I only have iptables
& squid running on this system.
The Internet speed is noticeably slow (so slow in fact that I
could not even download stuff from my external ftp server)

I've used this setup of IPCop (firewall & proxy) before and never
had problems. I used to control web access mainly through the
firewall (iptables) earlier. This time, I blocked all port 80
accesses at the firewall so that the users would be forced
to go via squid but the speed is significantly slow.
