Windows: OOo will crash on systems with pre-installed libmysql.dll when installing and using the extension
The extension ships with an own version of libmysql.dll . When Windows loads the driver library ( mysqlc.uno.dll ), it also implicitly loads the libmysql.dll , which mysqlc.uno.dll is linked against. Unfortunately, Windows first searches in the folders specified by your PATH environment variable. If it finds a libmysql.dll in one of those folders, this one is used instead of the one from the extension - no matter whether it is really compatible.
Linux: Cannot install without libstdc++.so.5
The Connector/C version used for building C/C++ (and shipped with the extension) has a run-time dependency to libstdc++.so.5 (which is somewhat weird for a by-definition C component). Unfortunately, OOo itself ships with libstdc++.so.6 only and the extension does not ship any library version. The technical background for this problem can be found in the MySQL bug report #45128. Finally, this means on systems where version 5 is not present you have to install it manually.
Search for the library:
The command ls -l /usr/lib should list the following:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7
Or search for it with:
whereis libstdc++.so.5
If it is found somewhere else, you need to link it to the correct directory:
ln -s (path+filename where it was found) /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
Install the library if not found:
If it is not listed you can install the library with the following command (depending on your system):
| Fedora | openSUSE | Mandriva/Connectiva | Gentoo | Debian/Ubuntu |
sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-33 |
sudo apt-get install compat-libstdc++-33 |
sudo urpmi libstdc++5 |
emerge libstdc++ |
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
|
For other Linux distributions please have a look onto your installation CD/DVD for a similar name of the package. You can also search in the Web (Examples: RPMFind or RPMSeek) where to get and how to install it.
