Thanks a lot Daniel.

It now works using the mysql backend:

    overshoot@Augustin:~/git/cppcms/build$ c++ ../sql_test.cpp -o SQL -L     
      /usr/local/include/dbixx/dbixx.h  -ldbixx
    overshoot@Augustin:~/git/cppcms/build$ ./SQL

      There are 2 users
      1       Moshe
      2       Yossi

I appreciate a lot the pointer about linked libraries. As I said earlier, I am 
new with C++ and there are some concepts I do not fully grasp yet (the 
compiling aspect is barely covered at all in all the tutorials and manuals I 
have read so far. All focus on the C++ language itself).

I have been perusing such sites as:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C++_Programming
http://www.cplusplus.com/
and others.
(You're welcome to share your favourite C++ reference web site).

And now that I know what to look for, I am about to study this: 
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Admin/ld-lib-path.html (They say: don't use 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html
http://www.cplusplus.com/query/search.cgi?q=linking+libraries

:)

Thanks again,

Augustin.
