RE: Snort Startup Erro - "libmysqlclient.so.12 not found"

["O'Flynn, Derek" <DOFlyn () lsuhsc edu>]

I will check on that, however, the libs are installed, and the client is
installed as well, it compiled all the src.  I found the libs installed in
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql, however, I tried using that with the
--with-mysql compile, but then it doesn't find mysql.  I did find some
documentation on adding the library path to the dynamic linker, but need to
look around at where I put the path to look at.

It means that you don't have the mysql client installed.  Make sure that
you have the mysql and mysql-devel packages installed on the box.

If you have that installed, then change the  --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
path to /usr/local instead and see if that makes a difference.

Cheers!
