I successfully run configure and on running make I get the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file znc: Is a directory
I've not had this before and apart from using the latest nightly, nothing else has changed.
Show config.log, where are sources, and anything in sources or prefix dirs?

Here is the config.log: http://pastebin.com/jgJRYa7E
I use --prefix=/home/swarfega/znc which is what I've always used.
Did you put sources to /home/swarfega/znc/ too?
2014/1/24 swarfega notifications@github.com
I did what I usually do, configure;make;make install. Is there an additional step I need to take with the latest builds?
You didn't answer my questions.
Where did you put sources? Which path?
What else is in that path?
What is in /home/swarfega/znc?
2014/1/24 swarfega notifications@github.com
Theres no /home/swarfega/znc atm, make didnt get round to creating it before it errored.
Ok, waiting for answers to other my questions.

I've not touched the sources. I've not needed to in the past.
I'm still waiting for the answers.

make has compiled the modules, if thats what you're asking.
I'm asking for
ls -laR /path/to/source/dir2014/1/24 swarfega notifications@github.com
http://pastebin.com/ZejEaLNi
Finally :)
So, for some reason you have 2 directories with source:
/home/swarfega/znc-1.3, and /home/swarfega/znc-1.3/znc
Both of them contain files like configure.ac, .cpp, .h, all modules.
/home/swarfega/znc-1.3 was actually used to build ZNC.
Any idea why /home/swarfega/znc-1.3/znc/ exists?
2014/1/24 swarfega notifications@github.com
Heres the order that I compile znc in:
wget
tar zxfv
(this unpacks the files to the "znc" directory (as a side note, older versions of znc used to unpack it to "znc-" so I didnt have to rename the directory))
Because I want to use "znc" as my prefix I rename the unpacked znc directory to something random like "znc-1.3".
Then cd to it.
configure --prefix=/home/swarfega/znc
make
make install
mv znc znc-1.3renamesznctoznc-1.3only ifznc-1.3doesn't existyet (this is simplification, also there is a case of overwriting files,
etc.).
But if
znc-1.3exists, and is a directory, the command "renames"znctoznc-1.3/znc(moves it)We need to fix nightly tarballs to have proper name of directory already,
instead of just "znc"

ah I see the issue then. Is there another command I can use to either get tar to extract it to znc-1.3 or to rename the directory in the classic Windows sense?
ok I made a directory called "znc_1.3" then extracted the files into that. Rather than use prefix=/home/swarfega/znc I decided to use /home/swarfega/znc13.
But now I'm getting the following errors with whichever prefix I use:
Now you can run "make" to compile ZNC

Now nightly tarballs properly have long dir name inside:
