How To find if Specific Software is installed ?

Hi all,

I have developed an application in linux that uses MySQL and unixODBC. Now I am making a small installer for this application that configures environment for this application.
What I need is the way to check if MySQL and unixODBC is installed on the system before I start installing my application?
Note that I am not creating rpm file instead I am making another application that serves as the purpose of installer. So I want to know how can I check if MySQL is installed on any system using C/C++. Kindly share your knowledge and experience and if you didnt get my question then plz let me know...

Regards
