Obsolete below here
<p>

The MySQL JDBC driver we use is the "MM Mysql" driver.
It is available for download from
<a href="http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc.html/">
the MySQL site</a>.
</p><p>
To install it, merely download and untar it
(in <code>/home/tools</code>), and copy
<code>mysql_2_uncomp.jar</code> into
<code>/usr/local/lib</code>,
and make <code>/usr/local/lib/mysql.jar</code>
a symbolic link to that file.
Running <i>make</i> on the GSRC java code copies this
file into the web application where it can be used by
Tomcat.
