Cheers mate! It worked. When I googled for that error, I had removed the c:1790 part of the message (the link you provided has the exact same error message except it occurs on a different line) so the page didn't come up.
I tried export CXX="gcc" first because it was the easiest, and it didn't work on my system. However, after installing libstdc++devel and gcc-c++, it worked like a charm. Thanks again.

Quoting http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Compilation_problems.html: If you get a compilation error on Linux (e.g. SuSE Linux 8.1 or Red Hat Linux 7.3) similar to the following one: libmysql.c:1329: warning: passing arg 5 of `gethostbyname_r' from incompatible pointer type libmysql.c:1329: too few arguments to function `gethostbyname_r' libmysql.c:1329: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast make[2]: *** [libmysql.lo] Error 1 By default, the configure script attempts to determine the correct number of arguments by using g++ the GNU C++ compiler. This test yields wrong results, if g++ is not installed. There are two ways to work around this problem: o Make sure that the GNU C++ g++ is installed. On some Linux distributions, the required package is called gpp, on others it is named gcc-c++. o Use gcc as your C++ compiler by setting the CXX environment variable to gcc: export CXX="gcc" Please note that you need to run configure again afterwards.
