[Mysqlcppapi-main] Errors when compiling and running MySQL examples

[Le R. B. <le...@en...>]

Hi
 
I compiled MySQLcppapi and when it reached the examples, I got these errors:
 
/usr/local/lib/libmysqlcppapi.so: undefined reference to 'uncompress'
/usr/local/lib/libmysqlcppapi.so: undefined reference to 'compress'
 
Someone suggested that I link with libz. I manually added that to the
Makefile found in the examples directory and ran make again. This time
everything compiled, but I get the following error when I try and to run the
examples:
 
Error: mysql_real_connect() failed
 
I also compiled the example found in the second archive. When I run it, it
complains that it cannot find libmysqlcppapi-1.7.so.2. Trust me - this file
exists. I have checked. It is in /usr/local/lib
 
 
Any help will be appreciated.
 
Thanx
