Most likely /usr/local/include will be on the include path for your g++ 
by default, so:

    #include "mysql/mysql.h"

should work.

Otherwise, you can tell g++ to search a directory for included headers 
via the -I flag. See:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.2.2/gcc/Directory-Options.html

for details.
