Error compiling OSSEC HIDS with Mysql support

I work with OSSEC HIDS In Ubuntu 11.10 from the instructions on the OSSEC wiki. When I install with mysql support, I get this error /tmp/ccuS4FYw.o: In function mysql_osdb_connect': /home/bkhezry/Downloads/ossec-hids-2.6/src/os_dbd/db_op.c:164: undefined reference tomysql_init' /home/bkhezry/Downloads/ossec-hids-2.6/src/os_dbd/db_op.c:178: undefined reference to 'mysql_options' /home/bkhezry/Downloads/ossec-hids-2.6/src/os_dbd/db_op.c:183: undefined reference to 'mysql_options' /home/bkhezry/Downloads/ossec-hids-2.6/src/os_dbd/db_op.c:186: undefined reference to 'mysql_real_connect' /home/bkhezry/Downloads/ossec-hids-2.6/src/os_dbd/db_op.c:189: undefined reference to 'mysql_error' /home/bkhezry/Downloads/ossec-hids-2.6/src/os_dbd/db_op.c:190: undefined reference to 'mysql_close' /tmp/ccuS4FYw.o: In function `mysql_osdb_close': ... I'm sure that Mysql is installed, because I tested it with sample C++ code and back me data record. I know the problem is in src/Config.OS that is generated with: make setdb CDB does not point to the lib of mysql that is needed to install OSSEC HIDS. But I don't know how to fix it. ubuntu  compiling  mysql share improve this question edited Sep 14 '12 at 8:05 warl0ck 11k 1 14 71 asked  Feb 26 '12 at 11:43 user1169982 1 1

It's difficult to follow what you did. Please copy-paste all the commands that you ran, including the details of what you downloaded. –  Gilles  Feb 26 '12 at 23:48

in /usr/src/ossec-hids-2.6/src/os_dbd/Makefile amend the line (move ${CDB} to end of the line), ###${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${OS_LINK} ${DBFLAGS} ${CDB} ${LOCAL} ${OBJS} -o ${NAME} ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${OS_LINK} ${DBFLAGS} ${LOCAL} ${OBJS} -o ${NAME} ${CDB} then, cd ../.. (back to /usr/src/ossec-hids-2.6/src/) to run sudo make setdb and finally cd .. to run sudo ./install.sh (in /usr/src/ossec-hids-2.6/)
