Error: boost/shared_ptr.hpp: No such file or directory

[aitor sanchez]

Hello,
it's my first time using this connector so I'm trying an example taken from MySQL site. I'm trying to see how to work with this connector to build a new C++ program, get in touch with the methodology, variables, headers, etc, but everytime I try to compile the code (copied below) I got the error "[Error] boost/shared_ptr.hpp: No such file or directory". Do you know why? what is that boost folder/package? Is it coming with the connector?

These are the info you could need to help me:

1) Compiler/IDE: DEV C++ v5.11
2) MySQL Connector: mysql-connector-c++-1.1.9-winx64
3) Windows 7 64b (I know it's old but I need to develop this using that version of Windows)
4) ERROR MESSAGE:

CODE/PROGRAM (taken from MYSQL site):
