Hi All,

yes, Patrick, I'm following your tut..I already had snort installed via 
yum. Anyway, as stated above, I removed the yum installation, and went 
via yr tut installing steps. But, got the error with the ./configure 
--with-mysql and not being able to find that header,

**********************************************
ERROR: unable to find mysql headers (mysql.h)
checked in the following places
      /usr/include
      /usr/include/mysql
      /usr/local/include
      /usr/local/include/mysql
**********************************************

What is mysql.h.? Any idea why it wouldn't be finding it.? Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
