Re: This is a new one

["Atkins, Dwane P" <ATKINSD () uthscsa edu>]

Do you think I should start with a fresh system?  Is there a way to do a
complete uninstall of the snort application?  I do not want to remove
base and mysql, just clean up the snort install since I have run it from
two separate directories.

 

Thanks to all,


Dwane

Yes on the checking and no on the -DENABLE_MYSQL.

 

Do I do a ./configure -with-mysql -enable-dynamic-plugins, make and then
a make distclean?

yeah it just cleans it if you have already built snort.  Do you see the
following when you run ./configure --with-mysql in the
snort-snortsam-2.6.1.5 directory?

checking for mysql... yes
checking for compress in -lz... yes

and 

-DENABLE_MYSQL 

when you run make?

I just tried that in both directories and received this error:

 

make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'.  Stop.

 

Thanks

make distclean && ./configure --with-mysql

I did recompile and still go the same message.  I download the tarball
that Will sent out and then I did a ./configure, make and make install. 
I then noticed the error and did a ./configure --with-mysql
--enable-dynamicplugins, make and make install and still received the
same error.

Any ideas will be helpful.

Thanks

Looks like you need to compile with --with-mysql.
