For psa RPM build. Anyone know the answer to this?

./configure --with-mysql=



Everyone seems to put the two examples below, but I don't have any of those directories.

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/psa/mysql



BTW this is for snort.

Try the following from a shell prompt:

locate mysql

That will find all the files/directories with mysql in them.

Snort is cool Check out www.demarc.com.

hi, locate gave a bunch of directories.

I went ahead and decided to guess at one.

I Tried:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql
...and it returned an error.

Then I Tried:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql
...and it returned an error.

Then I Tried:
./configure --with-mysql=/var/lib/mysql
...and it worked.

I created a database named zzzzzz under a test domain in plesk. I ran:
locate -u
...to update database. Then I searched for zzzzzz and it came up in the directory /var/lib/mysql. So i guess it was wanting to know the location of where databases are stored. I was thinking it wanted the direcotry to where mysqld was located. mysqld shows up in about 20 different directories.

Well normally the configure utilities want to know where the header (.h) and library (.so or .a) files are.

But who cares, It's working .
