[fpc-pascal]fpc and MySQL

[Fernando Lozano]

Hi there,

Using fpc 1.0.6 and MySQL 3.23.49a under Red Hat Linux 6.2, everything
installed from rpm packages. When I try to compile a simple program
usign the mysql unit I get the error:

bash$ fpc testemysql.pas -Fl/usr/lib/mysql

Sure I missed something basic, but I could not find what. O though it
was zlib, but adding -lz to the command line yelds the same errors.
