You're almost there. You've told it where to look for the
libraries but not which libraries to search!
Adding "-lmysqlclient" [without the quotes] to the command
line should fix it.
Incidentally, I would fix the compiler warning also. It is a
policy of mine not to run any program unless it compiles 100%
cleanly with "all" compiler warnings enabled [-Wall].
I do this because it is far too easy to become complacent and
say:
"it doesn't matter, it's only a warning. If it was
really important they would have made it an error"
If it's worth their while telling you about it it's worth
your while fixing it!
Hope this helps...
