As we indicated in a previous blog post back on August 14th, a few Shared Object rule platforms have been deprecated.
See blog post here: http://blog.snort.org/2013/08/a-few-shared-object-platforms-are-being.html
We are removing support for precompiled Shared Object rules on the following platforms:
OpenBSD 4.8
OpenSUSE 11.3
If you are using any of the above, please consider upgrading, as you will no longer be able to use precompiled Shared Object rules on your platform. Text rules (the vast majority of the ruleset) are unaffected by this.
