[Snort-users] MYSQL error even though I used --with-mysql

Subject: [Snort-users] MYSQL error even though I used --with-mysql

Hi all,

I am getting error
database: compiled support for ( )
database: configured to use mysql
database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort

BUT I configured the snort version 2.1.1 as follows:
./configure --prefix=/opt/snort --with-mysql  --enable-wireless
make
make install

I then start mysql which i have aready installed the snort database tables.

I then run snort as follows:
/opt/snort/bin/snort -c /opt/snort/etc/snort.conf -i ath0
and I get the above error.

in a book called "intrusion detection systems with snort" by Rafeeq Ur
Rehman it is stated inorder to support mysql you need to configure as
follows:
./configure --prefix=/opt/snort --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql (chaper 4
page 151)
his book uses --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql but on this debian release the
files are in include directory.

however when I pass this command in the config log shows:
checking for mysql... No
but if i just use the
/configure --prefix=/opt/snort --with-mysql  --enable-wireless command
(chapter 2 page 34)
then support is built in.
checking for mysql... Yes

has anyone out there got any ideas?

additional info: i installed mysql in /usr/local/mysql
i ran apt-get install libmysqlclient12-dev from within the /usr/lib
directory
and the mysql.h file is stored in /usr/include/mysql
mysql version is: mysql-standard-4.1.9-pc-linux-gnu-i686

regards,
Will.
