Re: Error while compile snort with mysql version 4.0.17

[<bclark () bwkip com>]

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I am now further back then before. 
Here is what I did; maybe I misunderstood. Not sure what that flag was
suppose to do?

[root@laptop snort]# LDFLAGS="-lz" ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/src/mysql
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler
cannot create executables
[root@laptop snort]#
