Not Compiled for MySQL

["Matt Richter" <matt () midwestcc com>]

I am having trouble compiling snort for MySQL
 
Here is the error from snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
***************Snip*******************************
database: compiled support for ( )
database: configured to use mysql
database: mysql support is not compiled in this copy
 
Check your configuration file to be sure you did not mis-spell "mysql".
 If you did not, you will need to reconfigure and recompile ensuring that
 you have set the correct options to the configure script. Type 
 "./configure --help" to see options for the configure script.
Fatal Error, Quitting..
***************Snip*******************************
 
Here are my versions:
OS: RH7.2 (New install)
Snort Ver: Version 1.8.6 (Build 105)
MySQL Binaries Installed :
  MySQL-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm   
  MySQL-client-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm  
  MySQL-devel-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm 
  MySQL-shared-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm
 
MySQL is running and resonding
 
Location of MySQL Includes (mysql.h): /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h
Configure command line: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql/
Error in ./configure output: "checking for mysql... no"
Snort.conf output config: "output database: log, mysql, user=root password=xxxx dbname=snort host=localhost"
 
I've tried pointing the --with-mysql= to any directory that had anything to do with mysql and received the same output 
error. I have even tried downloading and extracting the mysql tar file and pointing to the "include" directory created 
from tar file.
I noticed that if i configure with "./configure --with-mysql" , the output from the ./configure says "checking for 
mysql... yes". However, if I then make and make install, the "database: mysql support is not compiled in this copy" 
error is repeated.
