Fatal Error, Quitting..

For some reason my snort install is blowing up loading rules file with the following error: "ERROR: Unable to open rules file: local.rules or /etc/snort/local.rules Fatal Error, Quitting.." The problem here that it's trying to load the rules from /etc/snort/ and it's not there, since rules are located in /etc/snort/rules/ directory. I have checked my snort.conf file and for the life of me cannot see where it's getting /etc/snort/ from! Is there any other place where snort will get it's configuration, even when I run like this: snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf ? Is there some other config location that I'm missing? Thanks, Dimitri
