Hey all!

Stumped on this one...getting:

Mar 25 10:53:36 gateway snort: FATAL ERROR:
/etc/snort/rules/gateway.rules (62): 
unknown/extra pcre option encountered

with:

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HTTP_SERVERS
$HTTP_PORTS /
(msg:"NII Cross-site scripting attempt";
flow:to_server,established;/
pcre:"/((\%3C)|<)((\%2F)|\/)*[a-z0-9\%]+((\%3E)|>)/i";
classtype:/
Web-application-attack; sid:9000; rev:5;)

from:

I upgraded my pcre from 3.9 to 4.4 with the same
results.  Using snort 2.1.1.  Any clues as to what i'm
doing wrong?

Thanks!

James
