RE: error: "mysql support is not compiled in this c opy"

[Ed Kasky <ed () esson net>]

What finally worked was to run configure with the following

--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

which is the root of the mysql installation and not the home of mysql.h

I then had to add the path to  libmysqlclient.so.10 as snort could locate 
it.  I did some digging around and added the  path to the library to 
ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig.  Snort was then able to locate everything 
just fine and I finally got it up and running!!!

Whew.  That was way more difficult than the last time I did it about a year 
ago.

Thanks to Rick, Steve and junaidi for the help.
