First off, I apologize for the fact that I'm not more versed in the inner workings of GCC and linking libraries and etc, I'm a web developer and I'm just using C to try to cut down on some speed problems.
This is my little test program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <math.h> #include "mysql.h" MYSQL mysql; MYSQL_RES *res; MYSQL_ROW row; void exiterr(int exitcode) { fprintf( stderr, "%s\n", mysql_error(&mysql) ); } int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) { uint i = 0; if(!(mysql_connect(&mysql,"localhost","root","password"))) exiterr(1); if (mysql_select_db(&mysql,"hallow")) exiterr(2); if(mysql_query(&mysql,"SELECT * FROM sections")) exiterr(3); if(!(res = mysql_store_result(&mysql))) exiterr(4); while((row = mysql_fetch_row(res))) { for(i=0; i < mysql_num_fields(res); i++) printf("%s|",row[i]); printf("<br>"); } mysql_free_result(res); mysql_close(&mysql); return 0; } and I'm attempting to compile it with this command: gcc -I/usr/include concept.c -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lm -o concept -lz I'm quite certain that the header files are in /usr/include. And, what I assume to be the libraries are in /usr/lib/mysql. (libdbug.a,libmygcc.a, libmysql.imp, etc...) This is the error I get when trying to compile: /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _mysql_connect collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Any thoughts on why this might be happening? Is there any other information that I can provide which will help to determine whats wrong? Thanks in advance for the help, Tyler McMullen
