And yes, I know it's www.mysql.com, not .org! My bad. For example: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.1.html (depending on the version of MySQL you are using).
and look for 'Libraries and Headers' in the Linux RPMs section. Headers are not generally available (and if you get them they have to be the right version) so I would suggest building the whole thing from source because you have control over the optional features.

Unless you can just download the include files... which I think is possible. Check mysql.org. Gregory L. Hering (256) 722-6420 4807 Bradford Dr Benchmark Electronics, Inc.
