MySQL Connector C++ "linker" error.

[Cheezewizz]

that makes sense but then does it not normally complain about not being able to find a library named blah if you're trying to link it against the wrong name? Not only that but i've been using Mingw gcc port for a while and have used it like -ldxd9 -lwininet etc. and they've always been OK. if you google get_driver_instance, the first result points to another forum with others having similar problems and the solution, i think, was the location of the lib file...
