Configure is not finding the mysql client lib even though it is installed.

I am running fedora core 10.

configure: error: The MySQL library libmysqlclient_r is missing!
If you're not interested in MySQL support use the --disable-mysql flag.

I am running a snort sensor on this machine, and can connect to my mysql databases just fine.

The files exist, If I do a locate I get this.
locate mysqlclient
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.a
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.15
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0

Yum tells me that all of the following are installed and current.
yum list mysql
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
mysql.i386 5.0.88-1.fc10 @updates

yum list mysql-devel

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

yum list mysql-libs

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
mysql-libs.i386 5.0.88-1.fc10

I cannot find an option for the configure that will allow me to alter the search path for the mysql libs.

Thanks for the info. Let me look into this tomorrow morning and i'll let you know. The autoconf/tools probably isn't finding your mysql lib's because the path isn't in the /etc/ld.so.conf. Again, I'll look tomorrow morning and close this sucker :) Thanks for the info.

Updated configure.in (autotools) to support "--with-mysql-libraries" and "--with-mysql-includes". This should allow you to point to your MySQL libs/includes. Also did the same for PostgreSQL and libesmtp. This is only in the SVN tree. To get to that, do the following:
"svn checkout http://svn.softwink.com/svn/repos/sagan/trunk sagan". Please let me know if this resolves the issue so I can close this. Thanks again!

Yes, that was what I needed. Once I was able to point it to the correct location it worked perfectly.
Thank you
