          Not seeing this error in the code. hmmm

          snort.conf should have this.

          #Configure dynamic loaded libraries
          dynamicpreprocessor directory /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicpreprocessor/

          Seems for some resone you guys have this.

          #Configure dynamic loaded libraries
          dynamicpreprocessor directory /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicpreprocessor/

          Weird.

            installed today snort and having that same error: 2.0-BETA5 (amd64) built on Thu Feb 24 18:23:48 EST 2011, snort: 2.8.6.1 pkg v. 1.35.

            replaced the /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf by /usr/local/etc/snort_7413_pppoe0/snort.conf.

            But now i get tons of errors like this when starting snort via commandline:

            usr/local/etc/snort/snort_7413_pppoe0/rules/snort_netbios.rules(58): GID 1 SID 2349 in rule duplicates previous rule. Ignoring old rule.
            ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_7413_pppoe0/rules/snort_netbios.rules(72) GID 1 SID 2511 in rule duplicates previous rule, with different protocol.
            Fatal Error, Quitting..

            Any hints? thanks
