[Mysqlcppapi-main] Error: mysql_real_connect() failed

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

Hi. I have a problem running the examples that came with mysqlcppapi.
 
I have Red Hat 7.0. I removed the MySQL rpm packages I installed earlier. I
now have MySQL 3.23.29a installed from source. I compiled mysqlcppapi
version 1.7.2a like this:
 
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local       (this is the default directory
where MySQL is installed when you compile it from source code - I think)
make
make install
 
I then changed to the examples directory and typed ./simple1
I got this error message:
 
Error: mysql_real_connect() failed
 
What could be the problem?
