You can probably check if you have the include files installed by doing locate mysql.h to give you the mysql include directory, possibly something like /var/mysql/include or /usr/local/mysql/include. Stripping the /include should give you the 'parent' directory under which both the include files and lib files can be found. Cheers -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi! Quod subigo farinam
