MySQL compile Frustration

[razormind]

I have followed the mysql++ 1.7 examples from Mysql.com.
I even tried the standard C examples and I can't get GCC to
compile usng the most basic example.

I am using GCC 2.95 and I have tried for days to sort out the problem.

I compile using:

g++ sqlexample.cc -o sqltest

All the includes are in the path and all the mysql libs are
declared in my ld.so.conf file.

I am not the greatest programmer but I usually get my code
eventually doing what it is suppose to do. I have read so many links and I am still lost with this problem.

Any suggestions will be so appreciated.
