i’ve a Problem with MySQL C API and Mac OS X 10.6. When i want to compile a SQL Client Program, it aborts with this Error Message

ld: library not found for -lmysqlclient

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I compile with this command:

g++ -I /usr/local/mysql/include/ -L /usr/local/mysql/lib/ -lmysqlclient main.cpp

I’ve tried the Headers and Librarys in different locations – no effect
I’ve downloaded the headers and the Library from an other Destination – Same effect as before

Any Ideas what i am doing wrong?
If there is a thread allready i want to excuse (nothing found in search)!

Greeting, Dennis

    So after many days, of not intensive work 😉 here’s the fault:
    the compiler doesn’t accept the library if it is in the standard install directory. I copied the include and lib files into /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib . Now it compiles without errors 🙂

    I don’t know why it only works in the standard paths but however now it works.
