That'll be because the snort binary is not in your $PATH. And if you cd
/the/directory/where/snort/lives and it *still* doesn't run, that's because
'.' isn't in your $PATH.

Try:

cd /the/directory/where/snort/lives  <return>

./snort [options] <return>

Or, better still, make sure that the directory where snort lives is in your
$PATH. You did do a 'make install', right? And set the prefix to be
something useful when you ran configure?
