i get /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient <-- when trying to compile ONE .c manual

Hey...

-[dev@elatha]$ cc -I/usr/local/include/mysql prog.c -lmysqlclient -lsocket -lnsl -lm -lz
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient


Whats wrong with this picture?

We run fbsd 5.4. Box been up over 220 days

We have:

/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.a
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so


BSD does not have /etc/ld.so.conf and we cannot install files fia rpm.

I have gone through the forums already and no help has been found to fix my problem, so ill post this.

all good

meh...worked it out with other forms of support.

for all those who have this problem here is the soloution...

Add the -L flag.

so: -L/usr/local/lib/mysql ( after the -I ) enjoy

Feel free to give me a high five / thanks on here if you use my theory for your problem!
