The problem is that Lua is looking for “\snort_config.lua\”, not “snort_config.lua”.
Check your LUA_PATH to make sure that it equals: /usr/local/bin/snort/lua/?.lua;;

The backslashes are only there to ensure that the shell (bash, zsh, etc.) interprets “?” and “;” as literal characters 
and not by their special meanings.
