Hi ,
Yeah you have to install it . But probably it will be providede in your
distro cds (i.e the 2 cds from where you get RH 7.1 )
I genereally do the following to install all realted stuff about mysql
rpm -ivh mysql* --nodeps --force.
After mounting each cd & going tho the dircetory /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
Acctually as you see the error is Id ( i.e the linker can not find the
mysqlclinet library ) now 2 things may happen 1> as I told mysqlclient is not
installed or 2> is that it is installed but not in a regular location ( i.e
/usr/lib) so try to find a file named libmysqlclient.* (here * can be la or
so ) then give the location at compilation time using the follwoing.
gcc -0 testsql testsql.c -L /path/to/libmysqlclient.so -lmysqlclient -lz
