Oinker Matthew,

     That did the trick.  After running make distclean, I was able to
compile it just fine with mysql support.  Now I can really root around!
Thanks.

First, you need to run

make distclean

That will clear out all your old settings & object files & configure
settings.

Then run ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

This will either work, or fail. If it fails, you might not have the mysql
header files that are needed to compile snort with mysql support. (I don't
know if the binary package installs them). I use debian, and they usually
have -dev packages that contain these headers.
Get the header files (you might need to download the source package, I'm
not sure, perhaps someone else can step in here). I compiled mysql from
source, so I'm not sure how you'd go about it with a binary package.

Oinkers, that's a good one. That's slang for a really ugly woman round here
(God, she's a real Oinker ;)

Hello fellow oinkers (do snort users have an official nickname?)...

I'm still having trouble.  I poked around in the list archives, the faq,
and google and couldn't find anything on this so please forgive me if I
missed it.  I'm trying to compile snort to support loggin to a db.

I'm using the snort.1.8.1-RELEASE version on RedHat7.1.

I installed the linux binary dist of mysql from mysql.org
(mysql-3[1].23.40-).  It's installed in /usr/local/mysql according to the
mysql directions.  I've configured it according to the directions from
incident.org/snortdb but I don't think I'm even getting far enough for that
to matter.
