Hi :) Thanks :) So Building neatly avoids the packagiong issues of .rpm versus .deb? We just need 1 for 32bit Gnu&Linux and 1 for 64bit, not 1 for each of the main families (Arch? Slackware, Debian, RedHat, errr)? So, Heinrich's build might be good to upload to your page?
Doing a build sounds quite technical to me. I need to look at the guide as i have never done it before (well twice doing copy&paste from guides and not having a clue what i was doing). Anyway, thanks for the link to the guide :) Heinrich, has it helped?

I really don't know, but I'm hasarding a guess that they are fairly generic - however, each distrib currently packages its own version of the connector extension to accompany any given release of their own version of LibO. What is certain is that if you want a 32bit connector, you have to build with the 32bit mysql connector C library, and if you want 64bit, well...the corresponding bit library for that. If you look at the OOo extension site, the MySQL native connector extension was provided in the following flavours : http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/mysql_connector Linux (32bit) Linux x86_64 Mac OS X (32bit only) Solaris Sparc Solaris x86 Windows (I assume only 32bit, but who knows ?) So, one would need to build for these arch/OSes and also Win64.
