Hmm, odds are snort is looking for /etc/prelude/profile/snort/config, but your 
registration tools created them somewhere else (ie: /usr/etc/prelude/, or 
/usr/local/etc/prelude).

Check to see where the prelude snort config really is. From there, you'll 
probably have to re-configure and build snort, telling it where the prelude 
config is. However, I've got no idea how to do that

Alternatively, you could create a symlink from the /usr/local/etc/prelude (or 
wherever) to /etc/prelude.
