MySQL JDBC and Open Office

[Jay Scherrer]

I am  having trouble connecting MySQL to Open Office on Fedora Core3.
So  far  I get information for installation from MySQL and OO, but it 
mainly  pertains to the MAC OS. Where  or how do I define the 
$DRIVEPATH on FC3 Globally? 
Here is the directions for a MAC install:
Copy the enclosed jar file to <JAVA_HOME>/lib/ext (under Mac OS X, 
<JAVA_HOME> is in the location: 
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.Framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home/ 1.4.2 
should be replaced with your current Java version.

Example:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.1/Home/lib/ext/mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar
