with mysql I encountered the same problem.
My resolution was to follow EXACTLY the install instructions for Mysql for
the version you have.
Cannot understand why the mysql team makes this so odd to install.
the install script adds the pointers in the path for snort to find the libs
and headers.

otherwise, a bulk excedrin pain killer purchase (which will not cure this)
is necessary or use the linux distro of Mysql which is still version 3 but
works for 2.0.x. Don't see why it would not work for 2.1

hope this helps

Here's what's going on, snipped.

Any variation on:

[rootgreatwall barnyard-0.1.0]# ./configure --enable-mysql \
--with-mysql-includes=/usr/local/mysql-3.23.58/include \
--with-mysql-libraries=/usr/local/mysql-3.23.58/libmysql

or

 --with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/mysql

fails, thus:

/* snip */

checking for strerror... yes
checking /usr/local/mysql-3.23.58/include/mysql.h usability... yes checking
/usr/local/mysql-3.23.58/include/mysql.h presence... yes checking for
/usr/local/mysql-3.23.58/include/mysql.h... yes checking for mysql_connect
in -lmysqlclient... no

**********************************************
  ERROR: unable to find mysqlclient library
  checked in the following places
        /usr/lib/mysql
**********************************************

/* snip */

[rootgreatwall /usr/lib/mysql]# ls
libmysqlclient_r.so.10 libmysqlclient.so.10
libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0 libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0

[rootgreatwall /usr/lib/mysql]# less /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib /usr/lib/mysql
/usr/local/mysql-3.23.58/libmysql

It's interesting that google comes up with many variants on this question,
but no apparent answers...
