Rick, The error suggests that libmysqlclient is not in /usr/local/lib/mysql. the -L must refer to the directory containing libmysqlclient.a for the compile to succeed.

All, I am having difficulty compiling a piece of software. If I try compiling with the following: gcc dnd.cpp -o dnd3 -L /usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient as suggested in "Core MySQL by Leon Atkinson" on page 436, I get the error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient collect2: ld returned 1 exit status As an experiment I tried g++ dnd.cpp -o dnd3 and my compiler belched up the following: /tmp/cco2LOOc.o: In function "mon_list(void): /tmp/cco2LOOc.o(.text+0x872): undefined reference to 'mysql_init' /tmp/cco2LOOc.o(.text+0x89e): undefined reference to 'mysql_real_connect' /tmp/cco2LOOc.o(.text+0x8b2): undefined reference to 'mysql_error' etc. I think it lists every mysql command I used. I have copied the code almost directly out of the book (changing server name, user name, and table name). I am running Red Hat 7.1 and I have checked that the header files are there. Any suggestions?
