List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/163 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I installed the Mysql 3.22 rpms off the tcx.se website. Mysql is up and running. Installed the clients and thde development rpms. I am able to compile a program without errors. As soon as I try to link, I get mysql_connect, mysql_*** (put what you want in ***) not found. I am compiling and linking with the following: gcc -g -o foo -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient main.c no errors on compile. on link, I get the "undefined reference" error. I tried -llibmysqlclient, -lmysqlclient.a, -llibmysqlclient.a, and more options. Most of the time, I get "libmysqlclient" not found in the compile stage. HELP! I tried -lsocket -lnsl and others. _any_ suggestions? I searched the FAQ and all the documentation, to no avail. Do I have to compile the rpm source to make it work???? wade
