I have a similar problem. I run ./configure --with-mysql, make, make install, but still I get "database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort". I have an existing database and an existing snort.conf which runs perfectly if I comment out the database part. Any ideas that could help me?

Got the solution: had to run make distclean first. Sorry for posting so much.
