Problems compiling snort-1.8.3 with mysql-support on SuSE 7.3

[counter.spy () gmx de]

Problem #1: RPM Packets from snort.org seem to work only for Redhat Boxes
(or Distributions with similar System) , due to  different Filestructure of
SuSE Linux. 
Ergo, I tried to compile Snort manually.

Problem #2: ./configure --with-mysql=DIR 
I do not know where to find the correct directory for mysql-headers.
The place where the configure-script looks for mysql.h by default is
obviously wrong.
Do I have to point to the Win32 directory? 
There is a mysql-directory with a mysql.h, but telling the script to look
there results in
another dead-end: it blares that it couldnt find the make_win32 makefile.
Uhm, ...I dont want to compile snort for win32...

Question: 
What is the correct package to compile, or is there an option or #define I
have to change?

I would be very grateful for any hints. By the way, I read that I am not the
only one who encountered this problem, so probably others would be grateful,
too ;-)
