I'll investigate on this issue during a next week and will see how we
can create a workaround.

Midgard 2.0 will be released somewhen in a first quarter of 2000, but
after final release of PHP4. Also, though it will have ODBC interface,
there will be native MySQL and Oracle support. Hence, if you'll find
some ODBC-compliant DB without MySQL's licensing restrictions, Midgard
will work for Mandrake quite well.

Probably you don't have libmysqlclient.so.2 shared library. Some RPMs
don't have such thing, but it could be created without problems from
sources.

It was because a bug in authorization module of Midgard. This bug was
fixed soon after 1.2.5 version was released and new tar-balls were
uploaded to site.
For now you can fetch current beta version of upcoming Midgard 1.2.6
from my beta-test site http://www.midgard.f2s.com/
It has no known bugs except one in Midgard-PHP's syntaxical analyzer
which is triggered by PHPMyAdmin (other apps works without problems)
but we recently located the bugged code and are working on a fix.
Also it features seamless integration into PHP 3.0.13 (and I'll do
patches against PHP 3.0.14 tomorrow, but it seems that nothing
Midgard-related has been changed since 3.0.13).
Best regards,
Alexander Bokovoy,
Mantainer of Midgard 1.2.x branch.
