As much as started the snort he presents the following error:

Your problem is staring you in the face.

DUPLICATE output keyword.

Search snort.conf for the world "output".  You will find that you have
uncommented more than one output line.  You can only use one output
line.  So decide which one you want to use and comment out the rest.


Actually, you are wrong on multiple counts. The problem here is an issue of multiple calls to RegisterOutputPlugin() with the same keyword. For a first glance, look at src/plugins.c:InitOutputPlugins(). Look for two identical XXXSetup(); function calls. For a guess, I would think that this is a patched version of Snort. If not, can you please send the configure line used to build Snort and the version and build numbers.


Also, it is perfectly fine to use as many output plugins as you want. However, too many will slow things down.
