release 0.1.0 does not use anymore GNORBA, but OAF, which is the new
GNOME Object Activation Framework. So, there is no *.gnorba file. You should
instead look for *.oafinfo files, which should be in:

$(oaf_prefix)/share/oaf/

you can get the OAF directory by running:

oaf-config --prefix

so, check if a gda-mysql.oafinfo is been installed there. If not, gda-mysql
RPM installs this file in /usr/share/oaf, so copy it to the
$(oaf_prefix)/share/oaf/ directory.
