I tried to compile the "simple1" example and I set the port in the  
command line parameter. I even print it out right before the:

con.connect(kdb, argv[1], argv[2], argv[3], atoi(argv[4]));

statement to be sure it is trying to connect to the specified port.
Amazingly, no matter what port number I use, it always connect! This  
means that internally it is using the default port 3306.
I do not have any port parameter in my.cnf.
I use a Fedora Core 6 system and I installed mysql++ using yum.

Thanks!
