      Some very good news!!! ... and some questions.
      Last evening, I deleted the libo folder and basically began again 
using git. I let "make" run overnight. This morning, I accidentally ran 
"make install" getting an error message of not being able to create a 
folder in /usr/... . So, I used "sudo make install" instead. The build 
was installed in /usr/lib/... . So, being curious, I tried "sudo make 
install" instead. The build was installed within the solver folder as it 
should be. I made ooenv executable and ran it. Since then I have run 
soffice and looked at Help > About LibreOffice. I now have my own alpha 
build number!
      One further test: I ran Base in my new LO-DEV opening MySQL.odb 
which connects to my MySQL server. (This is a copy of the file I use to 
connect to MySQL. So, if it becomes corrupted, I still have the original 
database file.) I successfully connected to the MySQL server.
      Again because I was curious, I looked at the libreoffice 
configuration folder, specifically the extension folder. It contained  
buildid file which contained a number. I checked this number against the 
build number of my new Alpha version. They matched.
     It appears that I have created an alpha version of the MySQL native 
connector. So where is this connector in the extension folder? What is 
the next step to convert it into the .oxt final version?
