this sounds as that neither snort nor barnyard find the libraries.

I guess you have linked the libraries dynamically. Try to set either
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/mysql snort ...

or (depending on your OS) add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf and invoke
ldconfig once.

Note: You don't need mysql support in snort if you want to use 
barnyard with mysql.

Best regards

Dirk
