It looks like you when you tried to install snort, you weren't root when you did that either... And for some reason you never noticed the failure
of
the installation. either: re-run "make install" as root, so that all the components of snort get properly installed. OR set up your snort.conf and rules somewhere by hand and use the -c
parameter
to tell snort where snort.conf is.
