Hi,
Upgrading from 2.0.6 to 2.1.0, when I compile the source:
[rootaztec snort-2.1.0]# ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
<....>

and run:
[rootaztec snort-2.1.0]# snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
Running in IDS mode
...
<snip>
...
database: compiled support for ( )
database: configured to use mysql
database: 'mysql' support is not compiled into this build of snort
(etc.... standard error message).

But I can switch over to the old 2.0.6 source tree and:
[rootaztec snort-2.1.0]# cd ../snort-2.0.6
[rootaztec snort-2.0.6]# ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
<...>
and run:
[rootaztec snort-2.0.6]# snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf.2.0.6
Running in IDS mode
Log directory = /var/log/snort
<..snip....>
database: compiled support for ( mysql )
database: configured to use mysql

Now it works!

So, I'm guessing that the problem is not with the mysql support being "not
compiled into this build of snort" as the message says, but instead relating
to external files? Like the ruleset (which I _thought_ I copied anew)? Can
someone point me in a direction?
