It sounds like the mysql server is not running.

Do:

  /etc/init.d/mysql status

If that says "mysql is not running" (or words to that effect) then do:

  /etc/init.d/mysql start

IIRC you have to specify the parent directory. EG if you had:

  /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h

then you would specify "/usr/include"

>runnig locate mysql.h brings back nothing.

If this is a fresh install you probably need to run "updatedb" to update the
db that locate uses.
