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
