Hi,

I am new to networking,i am trying to implement IDS(intrusion detection system) in my router.......I have downloaded snort-2.9.1.2 source code and its dependcies.......I have cross compiled it for my architecture......Compilation successfully done......Binaries have been created.........Configuration setup also done in snort.conf...........But when i run SNORT under cd /usr/local/bin (snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf) i am getting the below bug..........

ERROR: database: '<mysql>' is an unknown database type. The supported
databases include: MySQL (mysql), PostgreSQL (postgresql),
ODBC (odbc), Oracle (oracle), and Microsoft SQL Server (mssql)
Fatal Error, Quitting.......

I thought there is a problem with database,so i downloaded postgresql,ODBC,mysql source code and compiled.......But still i am getting the same error.Can any one help me out from this error...........


Thanks & regards

When you ran ./configure for snort, did you pass it the proper directory paths to your MySQL installation? e.g., from ./configure --help

  --with-mysql=DIR               Support for MySQL
  --with-mysql-includes=DIR      MySQL include directory
  --with-mysql-libraries=DIR     MySQL library directory

Double-check the output from your ./configure command for errors/warnings.
