RE: Installing Snort2.0 w/ MySQL support

[SecurityAdmin () aspentech com]

If this is a sensor here's what I do to install it.....
 
install Libpcap
# cd libpcap-0.7.X
# ./configure
# make
# make install
6) Install Mysql client
# cd ..
# cd mysql-3.23.X
# ./configure --without-server
# make
# make install
7) Install snort with MySql support
# cd ..
# cd snort-x.x.x
# ./configure --with- mysql
# make
# make install
8) Create a snort subdirectory under /etc
# cd /etc
# mkdir snort
9) copy or move all the .rules files from /rules to /etc/snort
# cd /home/software/rules
# cp *.rules /etc/snort/
10) Copy the classification.config file to the root of /etc
# cp classification.config /etc/
11) Copy the snort.conf file to the root of /etc
# cp snort.conf /etc/
12) Copy the MySQL libraries file from /usr/local/lib/mysql to /usr/lib
# cd /usr/local/lib/mysql
# cp libmysqlclient.so.10 /usr/lib/
 
For the client side of mysql I have never changed the install path, but
possibly the libraries need to be moved per #12?
 
This is on FreeBSD, but it should be close. Here is a link to the entire
doc...

Hello,
 
I'm trying to install snort-2.0.0 with mysql support.  After installing
mysql I try to install snort with mysql support but the output of configure
--with-mysql=/usr/local/lib/mysql is: "checking for mysql... no".  Here is
my install procedure starting with mysql:
 
mysql-3.23.56 - installs without any problems
 
./configure --without-server
make && make install
 
snort-2.0.0
 
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/lib/mysql
 
checking for mysql... no
 
I believe the necessary mysql client library files have been installed to
/usr/local/lib/mysql - they are: libmysqlclient.a, libmysqlclient.la, and
libmysqlclient.so.10.0 .  The OS is OpenBSD 3.2.  Does anyone see where I'm
going wrong?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
John
