This library comes with the gcc-3.x package.

Hmm sounds like the MySQL-Server isn't running. Try a `netstat -tap` as 
root to see if it's listening for connections.

"Unfortunately" I didn't have any problems with XAMPP. But some time ago 
I switched to a 'normal' installation of Apache, PHP and MySQL-Server on

XAMPP and/or MySQL on this list.
