Hi all, I'll post the docs, later this day, to compile snort/mysql on ASL 3.214 which is the version i'm currently working on, i don't know if this works on the beta but it should... zoodoo i'll send you and anyone who wants the precompiled snort(1.9.0)/mysql(3.53) for asl... Jim what version of oracle do you have?
Does it matter what version of MySQL I install on my database server? I've got a copy of 3.23.49, 3.23.53, and 3.23.54 (No 3.53?) Is 3.53 the MySQL client version?

Note: remember that if you want to install programs you should add the --prefix=/pluspack and sometime the configure script might not detect your host type so you must add --host i686-pc-linux-gnu or something like this.
copy it to the ASL machine, untar it for example in /root
now we must get the client libs and header files form a machine with mysl already installed you must get all the files in /usr/lib/mysql or something like this depending where you installed mysql and copy them to your asl box to the same location
then copy the include files from /usr/include/mysql to the same location in your asl box
Now lets compile snort, go to /root/wherever extracted snort and do ./configure --with-mysql then make then make install and that's it, now all you have to do is install the snort rules, edit snort.conf and launch snort and install the rc.d init script included in the snort package in the dir contrib.
