Thread: problem when calling mysql.h

Hi! I have a prolem with include header for mysql "mysql.h". I use OS linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I know where are headers for database mysql. In directory

Code:

/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h

my simple source in c++:

Code:

//example0001.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <mysql>

int main(){
cout << "Hello world" << endl;

return 0;
}

Error is:

Code:

 skripte/primer_mysql001.cpp:3:17: error: mysql: No such file or directory

what is wrong with such a simple example.
Thanx for answer.

Your include file is "mysql.h" not "mysql" you need to add the proper extension. You may also need to specify the correct subdirectory: <mysql/mysql.h>.

Don't forget to link with the correct library or you will get other errors when trying to compile.
