Re: Snort on OpenBSD -- finding mysqlclient library

OpenBSD allows you to easily specify "extra" directories to search for  
libraries when it builds the "run time library cache" (usually at boot  
time).

To specify the extra directories, edit the /etc/rc.conf file and locate  
the line that begins with shlib_dirs.

You can specify multiple directories by separating them with a space.   
For example:

shlib_dirs="/usr/local/mysql /usr/local/pgsql"

Because this is interpreted as a shell script, you can also achieve the  
same result by using this syntax:

shlib_dirs="/usr/local/{mysql,pgsql}"

I looked through the OpenBSD FAQ and I didn't come across a section  
describing this.  However I did find it on one of their mailing lists.   
(Their FAQ is a work in progress that's always improving).

Take a look at:
