You'd have to statically link the driver against libmysqlclient. I guess the proper way to do so is to add appropriate flags to the MYSQL_LDFLAGS variable of Makefile.am in the drivers/mysql subdir and run ./autogen.sh and ./configure again. > 2.

The driver's Makefile uses the recommended linking flag (-lmysqlclient) which links against whatever MySQL provides under that name. I've never checked whether libmysqlclient itself depends on other libraries provided by MySQL. This might explain the dependency on more than one library. I reckon you'll get more helpful answers to this problem on a MySQL mailing list. hope this helps Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
