Darn it - but there is still a problem...and if I sound mad later in 
this email it is because I'm mad at the QA guy for not catching 
it...which would be me.

Ubuntu 9.04 (64bit) - OO.o 3.1.1 - The latest driver from the extension 
repository just now.

Opening current odb files, created using earlier alpha/beta versions of 
the driver are working - apparently correctly.

Can not however, create any new odb files using native connection - 
fails with a socket error. Putting nothing in the property for socket 
fails with a socket name = the extension file name. (Tried the binary 
that was sent last week and it fails identically...why didn't I try 
that...#$%$#)

Also - to be sure, and just now . Went into Win 7, OO.o 3.1.1 and the 
MySQL Connector 1.0 (although the one sent to me, not retrieved from the 
extension site just now...hmm) and created a new file, connecting to the 
MySQL server on the Ubuntu 9.04 server.

Opened this from under the Ubuntu desktop and changed the ip address in 
properties - the file opens, the forms work, all appears well.

Tried to create a data source via the GUI - nope - still get the socket 
error.

Will go back and try the actual binary file from the extension site 
under Win7...arrrgh, then come back to Ubuntu and try with a fresh 
install of OO.o - could be something with the stored settings from the 
beta I suppose.
