Sorry, I spoke too soon.  Although snort claims to connect with Prelude
Manager, I'm still not seeing any agents or events in prewikka.  I
restarted prelude-manager with debugging enabled and can see a steady
flow of alerts from snort.  I went back and confirmed that libpreludedb
support was built in for prelude-manager:

$ grep libpreludedb prelude-manager-0.9.14.2/config.log
configure:33403: checking for libpreludedb-config
configure:33421: found /usr/local/bin/libpreludedb-config
configure:33434: result: /usr/local/bin/libpreludedb-config
configure:33443: checking for libpreludedb - version >= 0.9.4
ac_cv_path_LIBPRELUDEDB_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/libpreludedb-config
LIBPRELUDEDB_CONFIG='/usr/local/bin/libpreludedb-config'

Any ideas?
