If you have mysql installed on your machine it should be in that
directory somewhere (on my RedHat 7.2 installation it is
/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h and on my Windows 2k box it is
c:\mysql\include\mysql.h).

You will need to tell Dev-C++ where this header file is under the
compiler or project options. You will then need to give it the switch:
-lmysqlclient under compiler or project options. If you are compiling
from the command prompt you can type: 

gcc yourprogram.c -oyourprogram.cgi -L/[directory of mysql.h file]
-lmysqlclient

If you are going to work with cgi's you will of course need to make sure
your mysql server is up and running and that it is willing to accept
connection from you (usually localhost if the cgi is running on the same
server as mysql).

I hope that helps.
