I got the error "cannot load mysql driver" or similar, when I wanted to connect to mysql db.

Although I could solve this problem via terminal, by copying the libqsqlmysql.so library to the folder qt software is installed and running
the below command:

qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=-Iusr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r" findMySQLDriver.pro

this worked out.

Now, the sad point is that I cannot make QtCreator connect to mysql at all,

in qtcreator I added sql to the .pro file, you know. but i donno how to transfer the terminal
solution to the creator .
