snort problem?

Can anyone tell me what this means and what I need to do to fix it:

[root@localhost ~]# snort ./snort -vde
Running in packet dump mode

--== Initializing Snort ==--
Initializing Output Plugins!
Var 'any_ADDRESS' defined, value len = 15 chars, value = 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
Var 'lo_ADDRESS' defined, value len = 19 chars, value = 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
Verifying Preprocessor Configurations!
***
*** interface device lookup found: eth0
***

Initializing Network Interface eth0
ERROR: OpenPcap() FSM compilation failed:
illegal char '.'
PCAP command: ./snort
Fatal Error, Quitting..
[root@localhost ~]#

Thanks for your help
