remote snort sensor

["Raynaud, Francois" <francois.raynaud () uk mci com>]

Hi All,
 
My existing architecture is as follows :
    - Mysql database
    - Apache with PHP to run BASE
    - one snort sensor
 
This is all working perfectly no problem.
 
Following this installation I started building a remote snort sensor with
mysql support.
I have installed the shared compatible librairies for Mysql and built snort
with the --with-mysql switch.
 
The problem occurs when I try to start snort with the following commadn :
snort -c /etc/snort/snort-2.3.3/etc/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort
 
The system comes back with this error : database : 'mysql' support is not
compiled into this build of snort.
 
Anybody could give me some pointers on where to look ?
 
Cheers,
