Hi I have problem installing barnyard2 in snort. I am trying to do this steps using the Snort PDF guide barnyard2 section.
sudo tar zxvf barnyard2-1.9.tar.gz
cd barnyard2-1.9
sudo ./configure --with-mysql
At first when I try to do this I encounter an error saying:
ERROR: unable to find mysql headers (mysql.h)
` So I went to install libmysql-dev following the instructions from this site here. Problem regarding mysql.h was gone but I got another error when I tried this
sudo ./configue --with-mysql command.
This time error is
ERROR: unable to find mysqlclient library (libmysqlclient.*).
So I went to follow instructions on this site here and tried to locate libmysqlclient where I have the following output:
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.18
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient_r.so.18
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient_r.so.18.0.0
/usr/share/doc/libmysqlclient18
/usr/share/doc/libmysqlclient18/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libmysqlclient18/copyright
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libmysqlclient18:i386.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libmysqlclient18:i386.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libmysqlclient18:i386.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libmysqlclient18:i386.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libmysqlclient18:i386.shlibs
I tried the command sudo ./configure –with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ and sudo ./configure –with-mysql-libraries=/usr/share/doc/
After each command I was asked again for the first error message I encountered
ERROR: unable to find mysql headers (mysql.h)
It seems like whenever I tried to set the path to where mysql.h or libmysqlclient is located the error just pops up. How do I solve this one? Just to let you know am just an average user of ubuntu and i don't know alot of commands. I really appreciate if anyone could help out. Thanks
