Hi,

I'm using the binary Linux distribution, and have successfully connected to Mysql with the C api.

I installed the C++ package and applied the gcc 3.2 patch. I got an error on the connection.cc patch, but the type_info1.hh seems to have gone successfully. I don't believe my (current) problem is with the connection.cc file.

On compilation I get an error with the file exceptions.hh, regardless of whether -DUSE_STANDARD_EXCEPTION is defined or not. Obviously something is not set up correctly. The makefile as supplied also fails, so that's why I ran directly. I'm using Suse 8.0.

The first couple of lines of compiler output are below.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
