Base and JDBC on Mac-OS/X

#1

Hello everybody,
I have to get an LO-Base-4.3 connection to a MySQL-DB going on a Mac.
Having downloaded the OS-independent version from Oracle, I tried to
define the connection as usual (including defining the Java-Runtime and
the classpath to the jar-file). However, I keep getting the message that the
driver "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" cannot be loaded.
Has anybody experienced this problem and - if so - how is the exact
procedure for getting this going?
Thanks for any help.

Which version of OSX ?

Which version of Java is recognised by LibreOffice ?

Which version of the JDBC connector ?

How did you set up the connection to the database in the wizard : JDBC,
or MySQL JDBC ?

On my OSX 10.10.4 system, using :

LibreOffice 5.0.0.4

Java 1.8.0_51

MySQL(JDBC) connection type

mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar

and driver string :

com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

I can connect to my remote instance of mysql server, no problem.
