You need to have compiled with --with-mysql, or grab a prebuilt RPM,
or whatever is appropriate for your platform.

   Do I still have to have MYSQL running on the sensor even though tit is
   logging somewhere else?

I'm using postgresql, but I'd guess you'd need some mysql rpms with
-client- and/or -common- in the name. But the database doesn't have to
be running on the sensor.

   Here is what I put in snort.conf to tell it to log to the other box:

   output database:log,mysql,user=snort password=Ournetwork* dbname=root
   host=10.255.55.11

I have a vision of hundreds of script kiddies trying to crack
10.255.55.11 and wondering why it's not working :)
