Maybe late but worked for me
If you are using an IDE you should link the library to your project.
I am using CodeBlocks on ubuntu 12.4 64x. For linking the library, you should go to Project -> Build options -> linker settings and add the library. this is my lib path : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so

Hope be useful...
