Try typing this:

        /usr/local/bin/snort -V

Bet it gives you a version doesn't it?

Try typing this:

        /usr/local/bin/snort -T

Give you an error?  If so, remember that when you update your versions of
Snort from one to the next, you _HAVE_ to update your config files and
your rulesets.

If that's still not it, check the way you're starting Snort.  You could be
starting it via some startup script and the default install (RPM or
whatever) for your OS might be a bit crackheaded--Gee, RedHat doing
something crazy?!?! </sarcasm>--And install it into a different location
that the default /usr/local/bin/ .  Check the startup script and edit it
to point to the right version.

If both of those suggestions don't do it, try starting Snort _without_ the
-D flag.  It will actually tell you the error if it fails for some reason
if you don't have that flag.

If none work...  Let us know.

Cheers!
