Re: Snort 2.0 + Mysql trouble

[Network Administrator <network () comune cremona it>]

Did you intall an RPM realese of Snort before your build of snort?
I suppose yes, so 
first- remove snort rpm packets
second- try to copy the new recompiled executable snort file into /usr/sbin 

I spent a lot of time to solve this!
Hope this helps
