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

Maybe you needed to tell configure where to find the libs...
$ ./configure --help | grep mysql
* --with-mysql=DIR************** Support for MySQL
* --with-mysql-includes=DIR***** MySQL include directory
* --with-mysql-libraries=DIR**** MySQL library directory
