Don't know why but it is not a one time bug for me...
I first tried it on 8.04 --> failed with the same error.
Then I upgraded to 8.10 and had some time to try it again. Again, the same
error.
I tried to clean everything several times (Thinking I messed something) but
without any success.
Every time I can see that acid_conf.php was not created under /etc/acidlab/.

One last thing, I use snort-mysql and not snort.

hope this help.
