Re: snort 2.8.5 on x64 centos and "ERROR: Invalid argument: include"

[Agent Smith <news8080 () yahoo com>]

If I un-comment all the include statements (classification.config, reference.config and all rules) it works fine so its 
not the pre-processors.

Here is the snort.conf that I use WITH the includes that I want and its broken unless I take out the includes.
