RE: Help : Snort 2.0 + Mysql Support troubles (Yes again...)

Are you running RedHat with version 4.x of MySQL? I've had problems with
both. Try RedHat with 3.x of MySQL.

Thanks,

Where is your mysql located?  Mine is
/usr/local/mysql.  ./configure
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql.  Then, add
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql to /etc/ld.so.conf and run
ldconfig as root.  Should work when you start snort
since I *think* snort is looking for headers on
compile, and libmysqlclient (loaded when we did our
ldconfig) when it starts.
