gcc wont compile and run MySQL C libraries

Question

#include 
#include 

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf(\"MySQL client version: %s\\n\", mysql_get_client_info());
}
         


        

Answer 1

It is not a compilation error. It is a link error.

Add the mysql library to create your executable with option -lmysql should do the trick.
