It appears to be looking for mysql to be installed in /usr/local/mysql which
is a default install location for mysql.
Check out the installation documents offered on the snort web page the docs
step you through the entire installation.
If you are using a different server for the DB you just need to adjust the
output line in the snort.conf file to point to that server instead of
localhost.
