Could not open CORBA factory

[Doug Olson <dolson bethel edu>]

I am trying to connect to a MySQL database.  I have configured the
datasource using GDA Manager, and am trying to connect with gda-fe, but
I'm running into problems.  I can connect using the mysql tool with the
following options:

	mysql --host=myhost.bethel.edu --user=acns acns

However, when I try to connect using gda-fe, I get the following error:
>From the Error Viewer

  Could not open CORBA factory

Source: [GDA Client Library]

I have installed Gnome-DB 0.0.96

gdalib looks like this:
[Datasources]
ACNS=ACNS

[ACNS]
Provider=gda-mysql
DSN=HOST=myhost.bethel.edu;DATABASE=acns
Description=ACNS Database
Username=acns
Configurator=

Any ideas what causes this sort of error?  I looked through the mail
list archives and saw one other mention of it, in that instance someone
replied:

> The problem you're having is that the sybase provider (gda-sybase-srv)
> does not work at all, so it's never compiled. Support for sybase is not
> ready yet

Is the same true for MySQL?  I dug around through the documentation I
could find and didn't find much relating to this.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug
