I ran into the same problem as Elias. I'm also running
Ubuntu, but I'm using the source files. The trouble-
shooting test proposed by Warren (using
mysqlpp::cchar x = 29;)

built without a hitch. If there's been any progress on
the issue off the list I'd be interested in hearing how
to resolve it.

I'm using NetBeans 5.5 as the IDE, running Ubuntu 6.06.

Thanks,
Ian

This is very strange.  Type cchar is declared in defs.h, one of the core
headers for MySQL++.  If it isn't being included via mysql++.h,
something is broken with the Ubuntu package.

First, I would suggest verifying this guess by replacing the body of
your test program's main function with this:

mysqlpp::cchar x = 29;
return x;

If that fails in the same way, I'm right.  If not, let us know what
actually happened.

Assuming I've diagnosed the problem correctly, try building MySQL++ from
the tarball, obtained from http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/ .  If that
works, you need to contact the maintainer of the Ubuntu package and have
them fix it.
