there are some possible reasons. First, did you compile the MySQL
provider (--with-mysql=/dir/to/mysql in configure)? or did you install
the gnome-db-mysql RPM or deb?
if not, you must do it to add support for MySQL. if you don't specify
the --with-mysql flag, the MySQL provider is not compiled.

If the gda-mysql-srv binary is in your path, the problem can be that the
gnome_db.gnorba file has not been installed in the correct place, which
usually is /etc/CORBA/servers. This can happen if you installed from
sources and have GNOME installed in a non-standard place.

The gdalib file you send is ok, so this is not the problem.
