Question

I have the following code

#include 

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

Answer 1

I had the same problem, but fortunately the command sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev as specified by user4713908 fixed it.

I juat had to specify the path in my makefile as

gcc -o database1 chapter5_1.c -I/usr/include/mysql

I'm using Kali Linux
