I am trying my first links, but I get  lot of errors.

I am starting with a small C program that calls mysql_init.

For some reason, I have to link  to SYS$COMMON:[MYSQL051.VMS.LIB]
MYSQLCLIENT_UPPER.OLB.  I am not using upper case, but I can't
link to SYS$COMMON:[MYSQL051.VMS.LIB]MYSQLCLIENT_MIXED.OLB for some
reason.

Anyway, I get messages for a bunch of unresolved symbols in client.  I
have included all available .OLB files in the link, but the symbols
remain usresolved.
I have located some of the symbols in other OLB files, but they are
OLB files
with MIXED in the name.  There does not seem to be a full set of OLB
files with upper case symbols.  But I don't even know why I need to
link to upper case
symbols, it makes no sense to me.

The messages don't seem to be indentifying real problems for the
resulting exe file.
The exe file seems to run fine, but of course I can't fully check it
out this with only a call to mysql_init to make sure things are really
going to work.

Does anyone know how to resolve this symbols in the link?
