It seems that MySQL support was not built into your binary. You need to have 
the MySQL-Client library and headers on the Snort machine and have a snort 
binary that was compiled with mysql support. For instance if you have two 
rpms, one will be named snort-[verson].rpm and snort-mysql-[version].rpm you 
would need the snort-mysql and mysql-client packages installed.
