mysql.h file can’t be found

The mysql.h file from the libmysqlclient-dev Ubuntu package is located at /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h.

This is not a standard search path for compilers, however /usr/include is.

You’d typically use the mysql.h header in your code like this:

#include <mysql/mysql.h>

If you don’t want to specify the directory offset in your source, you can pass the -I flag to gcc (If that’s what you are using) to specify an additional include search directory, and then you wouldn’t need to change your existing code.

eg.

gcc -I/usr/include/mysql ...
