Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong in here? I'm stumped.
Order matters. I don't know what the mysys or nisam is for .... is that where the msyql code is? If so, then move mysqlclient AFTER them in the link line. (ie, the linker is one pass... if it loads mysqlclient, sees no symbols it needs, then loads, say, mysys, it's too late for it to go back and grab things from mysqlclient).
