The mysql.h file is part of the "mysql-devel" rpm. It is under /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h You most likely just need to install that rpm. I run snort on Redhat 7.3 and I just used "./configure --with-mysql" and v2.0.2 compiles just fine. -- - Daniel ---------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Perkins MOSAID Technologies INC. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |---------+---------------------------------------> | | "Cluett, Russell" | | | <russell.cluett () eds com> | | | Sent by: | | | snort-users-admin () lists sour| | | ceforge.net | | | | | | | | | 10/28/03 10:55 AM | | | | |---------+---------------------------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net | | cc: | | Subject: [Snort-users] Snort install error finding mysql.h | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| I'm trying to install snort-2.0.2 on a RedHat 7.3 box with mysql server 4.0.16-0 and mysql client 4.0.16-0. I know it's an older version of RedHat but I have reasons for needing it. Mysql is in /usr/bin as installed by rpm, and I've tried the same thing with mysql installed by the tarball. Snort is in /etc/snort/snort-2.0.2 ./configure --with-mysql returns an error as follows: ERROR: unable to find mysql headers (mysql.h) Checked in the following place /usr/include /usr/include/mysql /usr/local/include /usr/local/include/mysql I've Googled this and found: 1) that mysql.h is supposed to be included in libmysqlclient10-dev but I can't find it anywhere. 2) someone suggested changing the configure script to read ./configure --with-mysql include /usr/bin/mysql I tried this but received this error: Configure: error: /bin/sh ./config/sub include failed I'm getting tired of banging my head against the wall, it's starting to affect my vision :-) Anyone have any ideas?
