Logging to separate mysql server on rhel 4

Posted by tsolberg on March 13, 2006 03:36:30

Hello
I am trying to get snort to log to a separate mysql server, but i get the error message mysql support is not compiled into this build for snort.
Using version 2.4.4 binary, and following the installation instructions doesn't help. (./configure --with-mysql)

I beleive someone else have had this problem before me

You need to have the mysql libraries installed on the computer you build snort.

Then i install mysqlclient which install mysql libraries on server and even after that i am still getting that error.
Any help?

For RHES4, using the Redhat MySQL4 rpms, use the following additional switches:

--with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql --with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/mysql
make

Redhat doesn't put them in the normal place. In the future, just run 'updatedb' once to refresh your locate database, and then do a 'locate ` command to find the directory that a borked configure script is yelping for.
