slightly ot - mysql.h errors

[Steve Davies]

Hi All

I'm currently trying to learn C so that I can recode some php/mysql apps 
I've got but I've run into probs right at the start.

I'm trying to compile the examples in PDuBois MySQL (myclient.c the 
really easy one ;-( ) and get the errors below.

I'm using SuSE 8.2 but also get the same errors under WinXP

I'm obviously doing something wrong and I'd be grateful for any pointers

Cheers

Steve
