i'm trying to install connection between c++ and mysql in ubuntu 12.04. i've installed mysql-client, mysql-server, libmysqlclient15-dev, libmysql++-dev. but when i try to compile the code i got the error: mysql.h there is no such file. i looked in the folders, there is mysql.h file, i can't understand why it can't find it. here is my code:
/* Simple C program that connects to MySQL Database server*/
#include <mysql.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
MYSQL *conn;
MYSQL_RES *res;
MYSQL_ROW row;
char *server = "localhost";
char *user = "root";
//set the password for mysql server here
char *password = "*********"; /* set me first */
char *database = "Real_flights";
conn = mysql_init(NULL);
/* Connect to database */
if (!mysql_real_connect(conn, server,
user, password, database, 0, NULL, 0)) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", mysql_error(conn));
exit(1);
}
/* send SQL query */
if (mysql_query(conn, "show tables")) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", mysql_error(conn));
exit(1);
}
res = mysql_use_result(conn);
/* output table name */
printf("MySQL Tables in mysql database:\n");
while ((row = mysql_fetch_row(res)) != NULL)
printf("%s \n", row[0]);
/* close connection */
mysql_free_result(res);
mysql_close(conn);
}
it's worked, but now i'm facing another error like :
mysql.c: In function ‘main’:
mysql.c:21: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’
mysql.c:27: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’

The mysql.h file from the libmysqlclient-dev Ubuntu package is located at /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h.
This is not a standard search path for compilers, however /usr/include is.
You'd typically use the mysql.h header in your code like this:
#include <mysql/mysql.h>
If you don't want to specify the directory offset in your source, you can pass the -I flag to gcc (If that's what you are using) to specify an additional include search directory, and then you wouldn't need to change your existing code.
eg.
gcc -I/usr/include/mysql ...
