Newbie - More help for First run of snort :(

Hello Snort Users,

The first time I ran Snort-2.3.ORC2 on Redhat9 I got the error

ERROR: Unable to open rules file:
/root/snortDir/snort-2.3.ORC2/rules/local.rules or
/etc/snort//root/snortDir/snort-2.3.ORC2/rules/local.rules
Fatal Error, Quitting..

All the files are in the rules folder and the path given in the
snort.conf file is correct.

The Snort runs when I comment the include statements in the snort.conf file.

I am running Snort as a root user and I feel he has access to the snort folder. 

Kindly help in this regard.

Thank You.
Menon
