Hello Javier, thanks for the feedback. And thanks for the 2.9.6.0 package. It has served me well! I ended up dropping Ubuntu server, and going to Debian server 7.6 to avoid all the issues I was running into trying to build from source. For anyone else in the same boat, I found this guide VERY helpful ... https://www.snort.org/documents/56.
