Where do you have the mysql library files installed on your
system. Snort requires the mysqlclient.sl library.

In the snort-2.3.2 configure file
Line no : 6533
you can find a line as
"      LIBS="-lmysqlclient ${LIBS}"
Here, compiler searches for mysqlclient library at /usr/lib.
Since you have them installed at some other path, you are
getting these errors.

So you need to tell explicitly to compiler where they are found .
This can be done by exporting the flags as below

export LDFLAGS="-L/path/where/mysqlclient/lib/ispresent/"

Or
simply edit the configure file at 6533
Before:
"      LIBS="-lmysqlclient ${LIBS}"
After:
"      LIBS="-l/path/of/mysqlclient/in ur machine/ ${LIBS}" 


Hope this helps
