Hey Kim,



Not sure if this will help, but is your libmysqlclient.a library in a non-standard location?  if it is you may need to 
add it to your search path before you run the configure script.  For us, the libmysqlclient.a library was in 
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/ and this needed to be added to our LIBPATH environment variable in order for it to be 
found.  I'm not that familiar with redhat, but I think if you do this:



export LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql

( replace /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql with where your library is.)



Just a thought!  Hope it helps, though it may not....





Dave

Subject: [Snort-users] Help!



I have setup mysql, acid, and snort on a redhat 9 box with apache.  Everything is working, mysql has the snort db and 
acid is up and running... thing is when i launch snort i get the following:



elnet_decode arguments:

    Ports to decode telnet on: 21 23 25 119 

database: compiled support for ( )

database: configured to use mysql

database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort



ERROR: If this build of snort was obtained as a binary distribution (e.g., rpm,

or Windows), then check for alternate builds that contains the necessary

'mysql' support.



If this build of snort was compiled by you, then re-run the

the ./configure script using the '--with-mysql' switch.

For non-standard installations of a database, the '--with-mysql=DIR'

syntax may need to be used to specify the base directory of the DB install.



See the database documentation for cursory details (doc/README.database).

and the URL to the most recent database plugin documentation.

Fatal Error, Quitting..

[root@ip68-231-82-63 snort-2.1.3]# 





I have compiled recompiled re downloaded the source and removed binaries created in the process to ensure that 

./configure --with-mysql

./configure --with-mysql=DIR



to no avail.... i keep getting the same error... help!
