'mysql' support is not compiled...OH YES IT IS

[chris <cfeldmann () nyc rr com>]

Hi,
Upgrading from 2.0.6 to 2.1.0, when I compile the source:
[root@aztec snort-2.1.0]# ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
<....>

and run:
[root@aztec snort-2.1.0]# snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
Running in IDS mode
...
<snip>
...
database: compiled support for ( )
database: configured to use mysql
database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort
(etc.... standard error message).

But I can switch over to the old 2.0.6 source tree and:
[root@aztec snort-2.1.0]# cd ../snort-2.0.6
[root@aztec snort-2.0.6]# ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
<...>
and run:
[root@aztec snort-2.0.6]# snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf.2.0.6
Running in IDS mode
Log directory = /var/log/snort
<..snip....>
database: compiled support for ( mysql )
database: configured to use mysql

Now it works! 

So, I'm guessing that the problem is not with the mysql support being "not 
compiled into this build of snort" as the message says, but instead relating 
to external files? Like the ruleset (which I _thought_ I copied anew)? Can 
someone point me in a direction?
