RE: [Mysqlcppapi-main] where to find libmysqlclient.so for Solaris 2.8 with gcc 3.3

[Liu, Y. <Yig...@an...>]

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply.

Another question, I tried simple1 (the first example) and I have no
database server running locally, so it fails. However, it will crash the
whole program, not close down gracely. I check simple1.cc, although
there are catch statement for exceptions and I also add catch(...) to
catch all other exceptions, it still crashes. Does exception-handling
work in mysqlcppapi?

Thanks a lot
Yigong

I assume this is when linking, not when running, the program?

On a number of systems mysql libs are installed in ${prefix}/lib/mysql/
rather than ${prefix}/lib

So you might want to try -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql or similar.

These pages might help too:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Solaris.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Solaris_2.7.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Installation_layouts.html

Hope that helps,

jon
