In the docs directory of the tarball, there is a file named INSTALL, in this
file you will find the following information:

 Problems may also be encountered if both the 32bit and 64bit libraries
 are installed on the system, and configuring snort with MySQL support
 may result in a different error:
 
 checking for mysql... yes
 checking for compress in -lz... yes
 checking for dlsym in -ldl... no
 checking for dlsym in -lc... no
 
    ERROR!  programmatic interface to dynamic link loader
    not found.  Cannot use dynamic plugin libraries.

<some other stuff>
  
 This likely indicates a compability issue between a 32bit library
 from mysql (found in its normal location), and a 64bit library for
 libdl (dynamic loader).  Use the --with-mysql-libraries option to
 specify the location of the 64bit mysql library (e.g. /usr/lib64/mysql).

If that doesn't answer your question, a lot more information is required
about your installation, what version of snort, configure options, etc. etc.
etc.
