Something about mysql

["Patrick Harper" <patrick () internetsecurityguru com>]

First, please do not hijack threads.  Start your own.  Your question has
nothing to do the subject it was sitting under

Did you compile snort with --with-mysql?   This is the error you get when
you did not do that.

Hi,

I configured snort-2.2.0 with mysql-4.1 on mandrake9.1
I ran snort 
"shell>snort -c /path/snort.conf"
I got the following,
...
database: compiled support for ( )
database: configured to use mysql
database: mysql support is not compiled for this build
...

in snort.conf I wrote
output database: log, mysql, user=snortuser dbname=snort host=localhost

is there anything else I need to do ???

Thanks in advance.

Salil.
