Problem Compiling/Linking

[Gerry Kooyman]

Hi all, I downloaded the MySQL C connector for Linux,

Followed all the make instructions (I think)!

every time I try to compile/link the test program, I get the following :-

gkooyman@Svr01:~/Documents/source$ gcc -o sqltest sqltest.c
/tmp/cch7Sgwc.o: In function `main':
sqltest.c:(.text+0x22): undefined reference to `mysql_server_init'

sqltest.c:(.text+0x136): undefined reference to `mysql_close'
sqltest.c:(.text+0x13b): undefined reference to `mysql_server_end'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I think it is a link problem, can anyone help please.
