Have a look at Snort's README.daq.  This sounds like the issue:

Note that configure runs daq-modules-config which must be in your PATH.  If
you
configured the DAQ with a non-standard prefix then you may need to put that
in
your path like this before running configure:

    PATH=/daq/install/prefix:$PATH

Beautiful is writing same markup. Internet Explorer 9 supports
standards for HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1,  ECMAScript5, and DOM L2 & L3.
Spend less time writing and  rewriting code and more time creating great
