you need to be more specific... AFAIK, tcpdump is an external tool used to 
capture and read pcap files... what is your use of tcpdump with snort? i looked 
at the referenced document and see only where they mention that you can use it 
to read the snort.log.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx pcap files... outside of that, it is not 
required...
