Fid you wait for the STP status to change to forwarding? 
It has to go through a learning period first.

What is the output of 'brctl showstp br0'

Latest is 1.0.5

If you do:
        ./configure
        make
You will build the utilities.
Then you need to run
        make install
as root.  By default it puts the new brctl in /usr/local/sbin/brctl

You can figure out what version is running by doing 'brctl -V'
Also, unless you have problems, I recommend starting with the bridge-utilities
included with your linux distribution. The utilities have been stable long 
enough
that little changes.
