I’m running 5.5.0-1parrot1-amd64 i keep trying to setup daq for snort but i keep running into this error
WARNING: ‘aclocal-1.15’ is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified ‘acinclude.m4’ or
‘configure.ac’ or m4 files included by ‘configure.ac’.
The ‘aclocal’ program is part of the GNU Automake package:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf
http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/
http://www.perl.org/
make: *** [Makefile:372: aclocal.m4] Error 127
Here is a full log of me trying to installing it https://termbin.com/pw6c9
save yourself the trouble:
sudo apt install libdaq2
thank you, but i still get the same error
i was able to installing it by using synaptic package manager and searching for snort and installing the required packages 
thank you for the support

I take that back i’ve configured it but i keep getting this error
ERROR: /etc/snort/…/rules/local.rules(0) Unable to open rules file “/etc/snort/…/rules/local.rules”: No such file or directory.
i looked over this article “https://superuser.com/questions/885336/osx-snort-error-etc-snort-rules-local-rules0-unable-to-open-rules-file” and it told me to change them into /etc/snort/filename but i then get the error above 
P.S
When i set it up all it has in /etc/snort/ are
“classification.config reference.config snort.conf”
i found the solution here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=225236 sorry for the spam but without the command i wouldnt of known where to start
Snort successfully validated the configuration!
Snort exiting
