Trouble compiling/installing with MSVC9

[ben summer]

Hi, For a while, I've been trying to install the C++ connector with MSVC9.

About two days ago, I got IntelliSense to pick up on the connector functions, but for some reason, when I go to compile my program, I get a compile error, even when I don't call the MySQL functions.

Ex:
#include <iostream>
#include <mysql.h>

using namespace std;
int main() {

cout << "Hello MySQL!" << endl;

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

Error:
1>------ Build started: Project: MySQL Test, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Compiling...
1>main.cpp
1>c:\program files\mysql\mysql server 5.1\include\mysql_com.h(243) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'fd'

1>MySQL Test - 6 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

It seems that nothing is wrong with my program, just what I am including.

I do have two instances of MySQL installed (one regular, another in WAMP Server).

Any help is really appreciated.
