Re: installing snort with Mysql that has come withredhat 9

["jon baer" <security () jonbaer net>]

there is no real difference between installing from RPM and building it, the
configuration is the same (AFAIK) ...

rpm -ivh mysql-x.x.x.rpm

or to build:

./configure
./make
./make install

just make sure to follow ACID requirements if you are going to use it:
