This has been around for months and should displayed as a warning and not a fatal error.

 

Kindest regards,

Does line 326 of snort.conf look like:

 

decompress_swf { deflate lzma }

 

If so, then try removing the ‘lzma’ keyword.  If snort is not built with the LZMA libraries for LZMA SWF file 
decompression, then this keyword will lead to a syntax error.

It's telling you that line 326 of snort.conf has an error. Perhaps a mismatched or out of place '}'
