MySQL Embedded was not released for 5.0. That means you will need either 
a 4.1 or 5.1 version to have access to those libraries.

Also, in order to legally embed MySQL in an application you create for 
distribution, you may be required to obtain an OEM license. Please check 
with our Sales department for more details.
