1. (Under "find_library: checking for mysql_query() in - lmysqlclient... -------------------- no") conftest.c: In function 't': conftest.c:3: error: 'mysql_query' undeclared (first use in this function) conftest.c:3: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once conftest.c:3: error: for each function it appears in.) 2. (Under "find_library: checking for mysql_query() in - lmysqlclient... -------------------- no") ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 3. ld: library not found for -lmygcc (Under "have_library: checking for main() in -lmygcc... -------------------- no") 4. ld: library not found for -lnsl (Under "have_library: checking for main() in -lnsl... -------------------- no") 5. ld: library not found for -lsocket (Under "have_library: checking for main() in -lsocket... -------------------- no") Hope that helps.
