The error is correct: "long long" is an extension to the langauge.  It's 
no doubt arising because you're turning on the pedantic error flag, 
which is being extra strict about the language it will support.

If you don't need this feature, you can #define NO_LONG_LONGS, but this 
will only affect MySQL++, not the C API.  Also, there were problems with 
this mode until very recently in the MySQL++ v2.0 development; I'm not 
even sure if the fixes are in beta2.  You may have to use the repository 
version.

Personally, I'd reconsider using -pedantic-errors for all compiles. 
Turning such warning flags on from time to time can be helpful in 
finding problems, but a lot of the "errors" compilers complain about in 
this sort of mode are just plain silly.
