Ok - I'll bite.  How do I do this?  8)

I went into OpenOffice Calc, selected Tools->Data Sources.  In the
windows that came up, I selected ODBC.  The Data source URL field filled
in with "sdbc:odbc".  Not knowing the syntax for the url (I'm trying to
connect to a local mysql database) I tried clicking on the elipses
button - which gave me the following error:

"Could not load the program library libodbc.so or it is corrupted.  The
ODBC data source selection is not available."

I'm running debian and did just install the unixodbc and myodbc
packages. 

$ locate libodbc.so
/usr/lib/libodbc.so.1
/usr/lib/libodbc.so.1.0.0

Any thoughts from anybody?
