Thimble Smith:
        Thank you very much giveing me much information!
but still can't compile my source code:test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "mysql.h"
#include "chardefs.h"
#include "dbug.h"
#include "errmsg.h"
#include "history.h"
#include "keymaps.h"
#include "m_ctype.h.in"
#include "m_string.h"
#include "my_sys.h"
#include "mysql_com.h"
#include "mysql_version.h"
#include "readline.h"
#include "tilde.h"
int main( int ac, char** av )
{
          MYSQL *sock,mysql;
          printf("Only a test!");
          if (!(sock = mysql_connect(&mysql,NULL,0,0)))
          {
           fprintf(stderr,"Couldn't connect to engine!\n%s\n\n",mysql_error(&mysql));
            perror("");
            exit(1);
          }

     if (mysql_select_db(sock,"test") < 0)
     {
        fprintf(stderr,"Couldn't select database %s!\n%s\n","test",
        mysql_error(sock));
       exit(1);
      }
}

use your command:
gcc -g -I/usr/local/include/mysql test.c -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -o test
much error occurs,exam:
/usr/local/include/mysql/my_sys.h:414:parse error before 'size_s'
/usr/local/include/mysql/my_sys.h:415:parse error before '*'
/usr/local/include/mysql/my_sys.h:417:parse error before 'size_s'
I am anxious for your help!
Thanks all
