[CentOS] Centos6: missing link for mysqlclient

2011-09-08 Thread Helmut Drodofsky
Hallo,
 
I am installing snort from source.
 
Besides of a lot of additional libraries, I needed a link
 
ln -vfs /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so
 
Are there reasons not to install with yum install mysql-devel ?
 
I have found many discussions to add this link in context of installing from 
source, nor only for snort.
 
Best regards 
Helmut

Maybe you needed to tell configure where to find the libs...
$ ./configure --help | grep mysql
  --with-mysql=DIR   Support for MySQL
  --with-mysql-includes=DIR  MySQL include directory
  --with-mysql-libraries=DIR MySQL library directory
