Connection

[thye kar]

Hi all,

I am newbie in linux. Currently i am having a problem in connecting mysql and c++ in linux. When i try to run my script in terminal i have a problem as below,

test.cpp:3:19: fatal error: mysql.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
To overcome this problem, i tried to install the 'mysql-connector-cpp' package. However, i do have another problem which is,
'mysql-connector-cpp' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'mysql-connector-cpp' found.
So is there anyway to overcome this problem or anyway to get the "mysql.h' ?Anyone can assist me about this?
Best Regards.
