No - no reboot…
It is a firewall that's in production and rebooting is something I only do upon upgrade.Isn't there any way to avoid this reboot ?
The libraries are linked to the kernel ?

It is a nanobsd install.
Try increasing the /tmp partition to 80 MB or even 100 MB. Another user had a similar issue with rule updates and found out his /tmp partition was running out of space. Once the partition is enlarged, try the remove and reinstall step again.
Snort and Suricata really don't play well with NanoBSD because both packages need a lot of disk space and RAM.

Ok - I will wait a bis since we are planning to upgrade our pfSense to a newer appliance in the coming weeks.
It'll be based on SSD disks… I guess problem should disappear…Thanks very much for your help.

You will be much more satisfied with Snort when you get the SSD setup.

As an update… thanks for the replies guys. I finished the HA cluster upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.1.5 this morning (everything went perfectly). I definitely didn't want to customize the installation by trying to get snort to work on 2.0.3.
