Could not compile `mysqlclient-sys`.

[Sjoerrdd]

Hello,
I want to connect to a mysql database, but I'm getting the following error:

   Compiling mysqlclient-sys v0.2.3
error: could not find native static library `mysqlclient`, perhaps an -L flag is missing?

error: Could not compile `mysqlclient-sys`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.
