<font face="DejaVu Sans"> What I have been able to do using a
command line:<br>
1. cd </font><font face="DejaVu Sans"><font face="DejaVu Sans">~/Downloads/LO-Build/<br>
2</font>. git clone git://gerrit.libreoffice.org/core libo<br>
I can download the master build into this folder:
~/Downloads/LO-Build/ with no problems.<br>
<br>
The rest is starting over, the things I have tried, and the
errors messages I have received.<br>
1) cd libo<br>
2) <i>./autogen.sh </i></font><i>--with-ext-mysql-connector
--with-system-mysql</i><br>
<b>Error</b>: <i>running ./configure with

<b>Comment</b>: <br>
<i> running ./configure with '--enable-ext-mysql-connector'
'--with-system-mysql' '--srcdir=/home/dan/Downloads/LO-Build/libo'</i>
(So autogen.sh recognizes both options.)<br>
MySQL version is 5.5.29. I do not know whether that has
anything to do with the error.<br>
4) <i><font face="DejaVu Sans">./autogen.sh </font></i><i>--enable-ext-mysql-connector
--with-libmyaql-path=</i>/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.4/program/libmysql.so<br>
<b>Error:</b> checking for MySQL prerequisites... configure:
error: not given. Please specify either --with-system-mysql or
--with-libmysql-path<br>
<b>Comment:</b><br>
How do I find the libmysql absolute path on my computer? Using
--with-system-mysql as an option does not work.<br>

PS: I have been able to build an alpha version of LO using git,
autogen, make dev-install. It does have a MySQL Connector/C that
works, but the log files indicate that this is only a copy of the
one I use in AOO 3.4.1.<br>
