Re: Error while starting Snort 3

The actual error messages should show up a little earlier while loading the config. If you scroll up in Snort output, 
do you see the error message?

Subject: [Snort-users] Error while starting Snort 3

Hi all,

I am trying to install snort 3 on VM with centos 7.5 with this guide,
however I fail to run snort against an interface like shown in the
end.
Guide:
https://www.snort.org/documents/snort-3-on-centos-7

While initialising search engine, i get fatal error and snort quits. I
found nothing about this specific error.

Error:
