/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient when debugging a C programme (1 reply)

Fedora 11 i386 OS

mysql-5.5.11-linux2.6-x86_64.tar.gz was uncompressed and installed on
the PC.

when a C programme using mysql database was debugged , the result is as
below:

gcc -g -o test1 -I/usr/include/mysql Test1.c -L/usr/lib/mysql
-lmysqlclient -lz
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so when
searching for -lmysqlclient

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.a when
searching for -lmysqlclient
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient
collect2: ld return 1

I have tried to solve the problem but failed.
Could you be kind to teach me how to run the programme right?
Maybe something like MySQL Connector/C、MySQL Connector/C++ need to be installed?

I am a greenhand and looking eagerly forward to your answer.

Best wishes!
