I'm running OOo on Ubuntu Gnu/Linux and trying to setup a data source -
so far with no success.
I played with KUbuntu a bit... I usually use FC just because I know
it... I have only connected to MySQL using Windows.
Following the instructions in Help (which seem to be outdated as of
2.0), I've downloaded mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar. I went to
Tools-Options-OpenOffice.Org-Java and
(1) Selected the Free Software Foundation JRE
(2) Went to Class Path and added archive mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar
to the list
After restarting OOo, I then went to the File-Wizards-Address Data
Source. The only option available is other external data source (Is this
~ to be expected?). I select that and at Next press Settings and select
MySQL (JDBC). At next, I enter the database as
mysql://localhost:3306/Magicians.
I check password required, enter the user and test connection. After
entering the password, I get the error driver could not be loaded.
OK, I don't think I left anything out. Would someone be so kind as to
help me get past this? I'd appreciate it greatly.
Sounds like you followed the steps. Can you check against the
instructions at

in the section titled
"Connecting to MySQL using JDBC"
