Hi,
What you wiht replace eth0? eth0 _is_ my Interface.
I use now the standard-config file and ony edit the line with the var HOME_NET
Now i have the following line in my snort.conf

var HOME_NET $eth1_ADDRESS

eth1 is up and have 192.168.1.1 as IP-Adress

When i start snort with 'snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf' i get the following 
error

server:~# snort -c /etc/snort/snort.eth1.conf
Running in IDS mode
Log directory = /var/log/snort

Whats wrong with this snort.conf?

<interface_name>_ADDRESS is builtin to Snort.  It will automagically get
the IP and insert it in place.

All you need is:

      var HOME_NET $eth0_ADDRESS

Where you repleace eth0 for your interface.

Cheers!
