I can't reproduce that, can you paste your suricata.yaml?

Here it is. It's almost default. default-rule-path is changed, because OSSEC generates alerts every time files is /etc are changed.
And Suricata is running fine with this config, just the check fails.

I can reproduce it with your config (just had to adjust the rules path). But it looks like your config file is quite old, so I suspect it's a config option. I did a diff of default suricata 3.2.2 config and yours and found several differences. Could you try to narrow it down which option it is?

Here is much shorter suricata.yaml, that reproduces this problem with suricata 3.2.2
And here is emerging-icmp.rules file, which seem to cause the problem. When you comment out line
- emerging-icmp.rules
problem disappears.

The issue is that you only include this rule file which doesn't include any rules. As soon as you enable one of the icmp rules it's working as expected. That's a bug in 3.2.2 but I couldn't reproduce it with 4.0.0-rc1 where you get the proper error message:
<Warning> - [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_NO_RULES_LOADED(43)] - 1 rule files specified, but no rule was loaded at all!

Well, it may be worth fixing this in currently stable 3.2 branch. If you expect number of affected old version users insignificant, this can be closed as "fixed in next version".

- Status changed from New to Closed
we will go with the fixed in next version route, thanks for reporting!
