I seem to recall that getting this to run on Mac was a PITA. I tried integrating compilation of the driver into my Mac OO build, but it still wouldn't work at the time (nearly 2 years ago now). In the end, I switched to the JDBC driver that you can download and install from the internet as a prepackaged image file and that worked fine (mostly).
