Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL Native Connector

Hi Tom,
Today I tried to download and then activate the MySQL Native Connector you put on
LO-Extensions. However, I still get the error message
"loading component library failed. file:///home.../.../..32bit.oxt/mysqlc.uno.so."
Any idea what could be the reason? The only thing I can think of is that I use
LO 3.4.2 (in addition to using a "bleeding-edge" Debian-Wheezy!).
Thanks for any ideas.
Regards
Heinrich
