Steps taken so far:
1)  Used synaptic to download libmysqlclient and libmysqlcppconn. I also 
downloaded the dev version of these.
2) |sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice # Debian & derivatives|
|3) sudo apt-get install git
4) |||||git clone git://gerrit.libreoffice.org/core libo
5) ||./autogen.sh||--with-ext-mysql-connector --with-system-mysql ||
Some comments: #4 was a very large download. What is in it? (the master 
build is this large???) On #5, I found the purpose for each of the 
switches, and I understand their purposes. I have mysql installed on my 
laptop that I will use to build the connector. So, the mysql config 
files should have the location to the executable file. For what it is 
worth, I have 3.5 GB of SWAP on my hard drive.
     As of the time I am sending this email, I am entering #5 into a 
terminal. I will keep you abreast of my progress.
