RE: Typical barnyard compile problems

Im not to familiar with the process, and I know these  forums are very
particular about etiquette, so what is the best way for me to have this
reported as either a potential bug in the new build of barnyard or get
pointed towards fixing whatever misconfiguration I may have?

I removed the 
-lz -lssl from the configure.in and I did not get the error. 

I ve moved to mysql 4.0.18 with no change in status, but Im a bit
apprehensive about continuing to build a production server not really
knowing what I removed from the configure, and why I removed it. I know that
barnyard is still a work in progress, but from what Ive read it's the best
way to save ticks on a high traffic server.   

Im not concerned about using ssl anywhere in my setup, so if it has to do
with that then I don't really care, Id just like to be sure that  since my
you know what is on the line,  removing those lines doesn't butcher the
whole setup.

Thanks again for the help.

Someone in #snort reported this problem too. I hadn't tried 0.2.0 release
and when I did, I ran into the same problem. Since rc2 compiled fine, I
checked for a diff in two configures and got this:

*** 2553,2559 ****
    fi
   
      LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L${MYSQL_LIB_DIR}"
!   LIBS="${LIBS} -lz -lssl -lmysqlclient"
    echo $ac_n "checking for mysql_real_connect in -lmysqlclient""... $ac_c"
1>&6
  echo "configure:2559: checking for mysql_real_connect in -lmysqlclient"
&5
  ac_lib_var=`echo mysqlclient'_'mysql_real_connect | sed 'y%./+-%__p_%'`
--- 2553,2559 ----
    fi
   
      LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L${MYSQL_LIB_DIR}"
!   LIBS="${LIBS} -lmysqlclient"
    echo $ac_n "checking for mysql_real_connect in -lmysqlclient""... $ac_c"
1>&6
  echo "configure:2559: checking for mysql_real_connect in -lmysqlclient"
&5
  ac_lib_var=`echo mysqlclient'_'mysql_real_connect | sed 'y%./+-%__p_%'`


If you rm the '-lz -lssl', from LIBS then it will compile fine, although I
have to say I am not sure what affects this would have and/or why Andrew
added them.

Hi All, 

Having problems installing the barnyard 0.2.0 on my Suse 9 server.

I have installed mysql and the accompanying packages using YAST (since Im

rookie)

I get the following error when I try to run configure on barnyard

Ive looked through the mailing list and I find tons of people with this
question, no one using barnyard 2, and most deal with editing the
configure.in which in this case has mysql_real_connect on line 285. I
found
One other posting that said to change this like to "my" instead of
"mysql.."
I tried this followed by 
Aclocal
Autoheader
Autoconf
Automake 

And Im still getting this problem.


Any suggestions?  Are there any good alternatives to barnyard?
