First time in NIDS mode, and...

Just got snort on; works great in packet logging mode; now I'm moving on to NIDS mode and I'm getting this:
from logcheck: May 16 06:49:42 sparky pppd[10996]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem : May 16 06:49:45 sparky snort: ERROR: Unable to open rules file: webcgi-lib : May 16 06:49:45 sparky kernel: device ppp0 entered promiscuous mode May 16 06:49:45 sparky kernel: device ppp0 left promiscuous mode command line (run from the script that sets up ipchains):/usr/bin/snort -d -D -l /var/log/snort -h 192.168.1.0/24 -i ppp0 -c /usr/local/snort-1.7/snort.conf
snort.conf is the box-stock one that came with the 1.7 distro. Question: Why can't it load webcgi-lib? It's there, etc etc.. I'm getting no other messages about anything.ps ax shows snort running in daemon mode with that command line, and there is a zero-length file at /var/log/snort/portscan.log
