If you installed via yum then you did not follow the FC3 guide, it
has you install it form source.  Did you install the OS and support
daemons per the doc?  Try a yum install mysql-dev, I think that is
what you are missing.  Also, are you root?  Did you login as root or
su (su -)?

Hi All,

yes, Patrick, I'm following your tut..I already had snort installed
via 
yum. Anyway, as stated above, I removed the yum installation, and
went 
via yr tut installing steps. But, got the error with the ./configure 
- --with-mysql and not being able to find that header,

**********************************************
 ERROR: unable to find mysql headers (mysql.h)
 checked in the following places
       /usr/include
       /usr/include/mysql
       /usr/local/include
       /usr/local/include/mysql
**********************************************

What is mysql.h.? Any idea why it wouldn't be finding it.? Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
