Snort Sensor installation error

[Jay Longley <foundation_consulting () yahoo com>]

Hi All,

I'm trying to setup a Snort Sensor for the first time, so please bear with me.  I have followed the paper Snort 
Enterprise Implementation - Snort, MySQL, Acid and SnortCenter on Redhat 7.3 (v2.0) (pdf), which can be found at 
http://www.superhac.com/index.html and keep on running into an error.  The snortcenter management console has been 
built on another machine and runs great.  As for this machine, I have built it with Redhat 7.3 updated and installed 
all relevent patches.  I ran the ' chkconfig portmap off ' command.  Next I ran ' rpm -ivh 
MySQL-client-3.23.55-1.i386.rpm ' and also ' rpm -ivh MySQL-devel-3.23.55-1.i386.rpm ' both of which installed 
flawlessly.  Then I downloaded snort-1.9.0.tar.gz from www.snort.org/dl which downloaded as snort-1.9.0.tar.tar, and 
ran ' tar -zxvf snort-1.9.0.tar.tar '  and cd'd into the newly created snort-1.9.0 directory.  Finally I ran ' 
./configure --with-myql ' (which ran fine) and then ' make ' , which ended with an error.  To be specific it is as 
follows:

/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o): In function 'my_compress': My_compress.o(.text+0xaa): undefined 
reference to 'uncompress'

/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o): In function 'my_compress': My_compress.o(.text+0x13c): undefined 
reference to 'compress'

collect2: Id returned 1 exit status

make[3]: *** [snort] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory

make[1]: [all-recursive] Error 1

Any light anyone can shed on this for me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jay
