Connecting to Mysql database from plugins

[Jlnarayanan00 at aol.com]

Hi ,
        Our application  is such that our plugin needs to connect to Mysql 
database to get the data.In the root directory of the linux server on which 
nagios is being installed we have  the following files, 
MySQL-client-4.1.7-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-devel-4.1.7-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-server-4.1.7-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.7-0.i386.rpm
In the new plugin we tried, we have given the statement #include "mysql.h" 
(header file that contains the prototypes and variables required for MySQL). 
But while giving the "make all" command for the plugins we are getting an 
error as 
"mysql.h: No such file or directory".

what are the steps we need to do to overcome this. Can any body help us in 
this issue. 

Regards,

Jaya
