compiling problem

["Andrew Kunz" <skipper () kunz dyndns org>]

ahhh  that got me a bit further..Thanks Erek

I swapped out the snort.conf repacing the one that came with the downloaded
rules with the one contained with the src.

snort-1.8.7 #

i ran


./configure --with-mysql=/usr/bin

everything went fine ran make;make install

fire up snort with

/usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

and get the following

Initializing Network Interface eth0

        --== Initializing Snort ==--
Decoding Ethernet on interface eth0

 Check your configuration file to be sure you did not mis-spell "mysql".
 If you did not, you will need to reconfigure and recompile ensuring that
 you have set the correct options to the configure script. Type
 "./configure --help" to see options for the configure script.

Fatal Error, Quitting..


wondering if i need to add some additional configure options but can't
figure which ones?
