Re: [libreoffice-users] MySQL Native Connector for 32 bit LibreOffice on Ubuntu 12.04

 Heinrich ,

Trie to install the connector with the latest working version
then update this version to 4.0.... and with a bit of luck you end up 
with a working connector in 4.0

hope it helps

BUT: we need to find a solution for this problem, for aOO there is also 
a connector, it works fine with LO 3.6 , for using it in LO 4.0 we need 
to re-compile the extension using the SDK and not the whole code base 
who looks a less complex task
