Re: Snort install error finding mysql.h

[Perkins () mosaid com]

The mysql.h file is part of the "mysql-devel" rpm.

It is under   /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h

You most likely just need to install that rpm.

I run snort on Redhat 7.3 and I just used "./configure --with-mysql" and
v2.0.2 compiles just fine.

I'm trying to install snort-2.0.2 on a RedHat 7.3 box with mysql server
4.0.16-0 and mysql client 4.0.16-0.
I know it's an older version of RedHat but I have reasons for needing it.
Mysql is in /usr/bin as installed by rpm, and I've tried the same thing
with
mysql installed by the tarball.
Snort is in /etc/snort/snort-2.0.2

./configure --with-mysql returns an error as follows:

             ERROR: unable to find mysql headers (mysql.h)
             Checked in the following place
             /usr/include
             /usr/include/mysql
             /usr/local/include
             /usr/local/include/mysql

I've Googled this and found:
1) that mysql.h is supposed to be included in libmysqlclient10-dev but I
can't find it anywhere.

2) someone suggested changing the configure script to read ./configure
--with-mysql include /usr/bin/mysql
I tried this but received this error:
Configure: error: /bin/sh ./config/sub include failed

I'm getting tired of banging my head against the wall, it's starting to
affect my vision :-)
Anyone have any ideas?
TIA
