Re: problem when: ./configure --with-mysql

["Shawn Kottke" <skottke () datalink com>]

Well it seems to me that if you wish snort to log to a mysql DB then you need to use the --with-mysql flag. Perhaps you 
need to point the above flag to the proper location if your sql client is not installed in /usr/local/mysql. 
Perhaps you need to install the entire database engine even though its only purpose may be to get snort compiled 
correctly.

so what to do?
 
install snort without the "--with mysql"
 
or remove the sql-client rpm packge which I installed and install from the source files?
 
thanks !!

        It appears to be looking for mysql to be installed in /usr/local/mysql which is a default install location for 
mysql.
        Check out the installation documents offered on the snort web page the docs step you through the entire 
installation.
        If you are using a different server for the DB you just need to adjust the output line in the snort.conf file 
to point to that server instead of localhost.

        Hi !!
        
        I installed snort 2.2 on the sensor ( the menegment server is another
        machine).
        
        the sensor is Fedora.
        
        after in untar the file I downloaded from snort.org I issue the commands as
        fololowed bot I get an error which says:
