FAQ: read <http://squid.ircache.net/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-17.html>,
 especially the introduction and
<http://squid.ircache.net/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-17.html#trans-linux-2>

"3.Compile and run a version of Squid which accepts connections for
other addresses. For some operating systems, you need to have
configured and built a version of Squid which can recognize the
hijacked connections and discern the destination addresses. For Linux
this seems to work automatically."

  In other words, remove the --enable-ipf-transparent, since you are
not using the ipf package, and it will work. (Then you can get into a
whole list of new problems, because transparent proxying is hard to
make work correctly.)
