Problems with dbi-connector and mysql

[Phil Longstaff]

Hi Oliver,

a few things:
1) Since this question involves software which has not been released yet, it 
should really be on gnucash-devel, not gnucash-user.
2) What are you running on?  Linux?  Windows?  What distribution?
3) Assuming you are on Linux, do you have a file /usr/lib/dbd/libdbdmysql.so 
(maybe /lib/dbd/libdbdmysql.so).
