[CentOS] Centos6: missing link for mysqlclient

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
