Very informative, my suggestion, for those folks not comfortable with
compiling from source, would be to use the ports collection. Where
these steps are done for you.

For example, to install the mysql client you would...

 1. cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-client

 2. make install clean

And you're done. You can do the same with snort and specify the MySQL
support on the command line with a "make USE_MYSQL=yes install clean".

If you also install portupgrade, you will be able to keep those ports up to
date much easier also.

One important note, make sure you get your ports collection up to date by
using cvsup (cvsup-without-gui in ports). This is documented very well in
the FreeBSD handbook.

One last thing, ACID is also in the ports collection and installing from
there will also install Apache and MySQL client as dependancies for you too.
