Hello everyone,

I've upgraded snort 2.0.0 to snort-2.0.2. I do a snort -V and it shows
snort 2.0.2. But when I try to run the following command
/usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf. I get a error that mysql
was not compiled with snort. I tried to recompile snort several times
using the command ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql.  I reverted
back to snort2.0 without a problem. Is there something that I'm doing
wrong?

using the command ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

Is this ./configure command actually pointing at the installed mysql
library files, and not at the source code location nor at the location
of the compiled executable?

I believe this configure switch wants to be pointing at *.a or *.so.*
files..

I used:

./configure --with-mysql /usr/lib/mysql

successfully...

HTH..
