I was able to compile it by making a new dir with hardlinks to the files.
I just don't think that the mysql/ directory should be there in the
include lines.
The problem is that the mysql install from source (not using rpm's) puts it
in /usr/local/mysql (then /lib, /include, etc). So while all of my headers
were found:
/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql.h
/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a
When included in the source, it tried to include:
mysql/mysql.h
which doesn't exist.
I say get rid of the preceding mysql/ so gcc can look for mysql.h in the -I
specified directories for it. That way I can specify
-I /usr/local/mysql/include and gcc will find it. Right now, gcc is
looking in ./mysql/mysql.h, /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/mysql.h, etc.
That's silliness.
#include mysql.h;
Much better.
