he problem is that if you emerge the ebuild of snort-2.6 with the option inline, sguil or flexresp, you use the patch of snort-2.4 (snort-2.4.0-genpatches.tar.bz2) But snort-2.4.0-genpatches.tar.bz2 aren't in the SRC_URI SRC_URI="http://www.snort.org/dl/current/${P}.tar.gz http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/downloads.cgi/Download/comm_rules/Community-Rules.tar.gz http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/downloads.cgi/Download/vrt_pr/snortrules-pr-2.4.tar.gz snortsam?
