Have you visited http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/ ?  Right up at the top, 
in the section "Source Code", you will find two packages.  One is a 
.tar.gz file, the other is a .src.rpm file.  Pick one.  If you can't 
decide between them, we are not set up here to teach you how.  Join a 
Unix/Linux programming mailing list or something.

This list is only for MySQL++ questions.  Questions about the C API 
belong on the main MySQL list.

The only version that will work out of the box with that compiler is the 
ancient v1.7.9 version, but I really wouldn't recommend it to a new 
user.  I only keep that around for people who have old code they still 
need to support, so they already know the old MySQL++ quirks and 
problems.  If you cannot upgrade to a reasonably modern version of GCC, 
I would recommend that you stick to the C API.
