mysql_connect() is deprecated function. Try using mysql_real_connect(). I've used and haven't experience any problems with it.

I'm not sure if these .so are necessary. This is urgent. If you have any idea about how to solve this problem, pleaaasssse let me know! My version is 4.0.4. Please let me know if any extra rpms other than server, client, shared and devel are necessary for using mysql from C.
