This was not the answer to the question asked. You may need to make those
directories on the system:

 % mkdir /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules/

Then place the shared object libraries in those directories. You will also
need to use the shared object rule files.

I suggest you read some more of the docs on snort.org and then perhaps think
about using pulledpork to handle your rule downloads for you.
