 Ok.. installed the mysql-devel rpm (could not find a centos specific rpm)

At the end of the "make" I'm getting a make error:

gcc: /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so: No such file of directory..

in that directory I do have..

libmysqclient.so.10.0.0

... I seem to remember in this situation that one creates a symlink from 
the latest version to the base name.. i.e.

ln -s /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0 
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so

I don't do this sort of thing regularly so could some one confirm that 
as a solution in this case..

Or...?

Thanks

John..
