[Gambas-user] MySQL dB open problem

[John G. Ruff]

With both the example program (Database example) and "Tools |
Database Manager..." menu item, when trying to connect I get:

  Cannot connect to database
  Cannot open database: Client does not support authentication 
                        protocol requested by server; consider
                        upgrading MySQL client

I'm using Mandrake 10.1 (32 bit) on a MicroStar K8T Neo2 FIR, an
AMD64/3000+ and 512 Mb memory. Running Gambas 0.99 RC5 (the
kudla.org RPMs install, dev pkgs are not all installed, so
compile of 1.0 fails). MySQL 4.1.8 is running on a server and I
can connect to it across the network with phpmyadmin & with my
VB6 programs.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
jr
