Hi again, 

I installed the mysql-devel package and tried installing Snort again, and this time it worked.

Regards,

Hi all, 
I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and trying to install Snort 2.8.3. It seems that mySQL comes pre-installed as I 
only had to start the service (mysqld) to use it, although I have no mysql folder in /usr/include and have to create it 
myself and copy the header files from snort's include folder (snort-2.8.3.1/src/win32/WIN32-Includes/mysql).

My problem is that when I configure, I get the 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.This seems to be a very common problem, and I've tried all the 
suggested solutions I could find, but none seems to work. 

I configured using the following:

../configure
 --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql --with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib64/mysql  --with-libpcap-libraries=/usr/lib64 
--with-libpcre-libraries=/usr/lib64 --with-libnet-libraries=/usr/lib64 --enable-ipv6 --enable-pthread 
--enable-dynamicplugin --enable-perfprofiling

I looked at the config.log file, and found the following errors among other error messages that had to do with missing 
certain header files or programming syntax errors/warnings, i.e. variables not declared/unused:

Please advise.

Thank you.
