Why aren't you using 'make'?  (Read README.unix if you don't know what 
I'm talking about.)

If you're just trying to learn how to build your own programs, I still 
say, use the Makefile.  There isn't much "fat" in current MySQL++ 
Makefiles, so it will guide you quickly to the minimal build options. 
What you have above isn't even close to the minimum.  You need to link 
against the C API library and the MySQL++ library, at the very least. 
I'd bet you need at least one more -I flag for MySQL, too.
