snort.conf issues

[eric <erict70445 () gmail com>]

I am having a problem when testing my snort configuration file. I have
Snort set up on a Vista(32bit) system following the install guide. I have
set all the variables correctly as far as network and path to rules and so
on. When I run the test command (snort -d -l C:\snort\log -c
C:\Snort\etc\snort.conf -i 3 -T ) it seems to do well untill after checking
the blacklist.rules file. After which I get the following lines in my
terminal:

ERROR:  c:\snort\etc\snort.conf(533) => Invalid argument: include
Fatal Error, Quitting..
Could not set the event message file.

I have included the last two entries the test displayed plus the error
message. If anyone can give me an idea of what is going on it would be
greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
