you must specify a --with-mysql argument to configure. if not, the
providers are not built. But, I don't know why but you've got gda-mysql
installed, since the error you did get was coming from the MySQL
provider ("Can't connect to MySQL server on localhost..."). So, maybe
you've got an old version around?

was this on the gda-mysql-srv binary? If so, just do:

(gdb) b gda_mysql_connection_open
(gdb) continue

there's something weird in your setup, if you say you didn't specify a
--with-mysql argument to configure. Please check that you don't have a
gda-mysql RPM or debian package installed or an old compilation lying
around.

yes, there's one. At http://www.gnome-db.org/dev/index.php. It may miss
some stuff though. Anyway, gnome-db/libgda are composed of several
parts, so there are a lot of things to do, and maybe you'll first have
to choose on which one you're interested. Have a look at that page, and
tell me which one you prefer. Or if you've got other ideas, just tell me
also

bug fixing would be great! Have a look at the bugs stuff listed on the page
above.
