See what your gcc version is by running:
gcc --version
I'm assuming that it's 3.2.2; if it's not, you may have to alter these instructions a little. You need autoconf, automake, and libtool installed (and maybe a few others that are slipping my mind).
First get "Patch for GCC 3.0", "Patch for GCC 3.2 (apply after 3.0 patch)", and "Patch for GCC 3.2.2" from
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-mysql++.html. Save them in the same directory the source tarball is in.
Then follow what I did:
lyle@poole:~/temp$ ls
mysql++-1.7.9.tar.gz mysql++-gcc-3.2.2.patch.gz
mysql++-gcc-3.0.patch.gz mysql++-gcc-3.2.patch.gz

You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
lyle@poole:~/temp/mysql++-1.7.9$ aclocal
lyle@poole:~/temp/mysql++-1.7.9$ autoconf
lyle@poole:~/temp/mysql++-1.7.9$ automake --foreign --add-missing

exit
lyle@poole:~/temp/mysql++-1.7.9$
If the library works correctly, you can do what the mysql++ people should have done in the first place so their users wouldn't have to go through all this pain and suffering:
lyle@poole:~/temp/mysql++-1.7.9$ make dist
.
.
.
You'll find a source tarball called sqlplus-1.7.0.tar.gz in the current directory that you'll be able to use the old ./configure, make, make install sequence with.
