The 'compress' and 'uncompress' symbols come from zlib, so you should 
install zlib-devel and add -lz to the link flags (aka LDFLAGS, maybe).

Note that I haven't tried getting snort to work with MySQL 4.x, but I ran 
into the same problems with mudpit and MySQL 4.x. Unfortunately, I ran into 
other, stranger problems (and was warned by mudpit's author than further 
stranger problems lay beyond those!) so I gave up and reverted to MySQL 3.x.

Best Regards,
Alex.
