mysql.h not found... why not? [C] [MacOSX]

Hello,

I'm attempting to connect to my MySQL database using a C program, but it isn't making it past the #include <mysql.h> line because it fails the compile when it can't find the header. I'm not sure why it can't find the header, I have it in the same directory as all the other headers (i.e. stdlib.h or stdio.h), which is /usr/include. I put everything from the C Connector into the include, lib, and bin folders within the usr directory.

Can anybody shed some light on this? I'm stuck.

I'm using Mac OSX Lion and xCode.

Here is my program:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<mysql.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{
MYSQL *conn;
//MYSQL_RES *res;
MYSQL_ROW row;

char *server ="localhost";
char *user = "lynseysc";
char *password = "";
char *database = "lynseysc_misc";

conn = mysql_init(NULL);

if(mysql_real_connection(conn, server, user, password, database, 0, NULL, 0))
{
printf("Connected successfully!");
}
else
{
printf("Error connecting.");
}

return 0;
}
