Hmm, you should've probably done a "make dev-install" instead of "make 
install", as now, you've got a link to your dev build in your /usr/lib/, 
i.e. it will have overwritten any default LO installation that you 
already had, I think. The advantage of "make dev-install" is that it 
keeps everything in your LO development directory.

The connector itself isn't alpha anything, as the actual connector 
libary code doesn't change version much, and was only bumped to 1.0.2 
last year with a change in the requirement for the version of 
libmysqlclient.

As for its whereabouts, you should be able to find it here :

/core/workdir/unxlngx6.pro/ExtensionTarget/mysql-connector-ooo.oxt

and

/core/solver/unxlngx6.pro/bin/mysql-connector-ooo.oxt

and

/core/mysqlc/unxlngx6.pro/bin/mysql-connector-ooo.oxt


In my builds, it has a size of about 2Mb. This is because the connector 
links to libmysqlclient and libmysqlcppconn, whereas on the Mac, it is 
packaged altogether with these libraries (or at least it should be) 
leading to an OXT file that weighs in at about 4Mb.
