Hallo, I am installing snort from source. Besides of a lot of additional libraries, I needed a link ln -vfs /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so Are there reasons not to install with yum install mysql-devel ? I have found many discussions to add this link in context of installing from source, nor only for snort. Best regards Helmut -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Support for MySQL ? --with-mysql-includes=DIR????? MySQL include directory ? --with-mysql-libraries=DIR???? MySQL library directory JD
