Here it is:

mysqlpp::Connection conn = mysql::Connection(false);
if (!conn.connect("wgwps", "127.0.0.1", "ans", "bns", 4040))
{
    perror("Connection::connect");
    return 1;
}

I set the port to 4040, but it continues to connect to 3306. I tried  
with MySQL C API directly and this issue didn't happen.

Thanks!
