I am new to C++.

I am trying to make a MySQL connection. I found that it requires mysql-connector. I installed boost-dev-all . I have put my mysql-connector in local directory ~/bin. I have successfully installed it.

But when I try to make mysql connection, I get an error:

fatal: cppcon: directory missing

On digging around, I understoodd cppconn folder has been missing from /usr/include. Should I copy cppconn folder to /usr/include?

sudo cp /bin/mysql-connector /usr/include
