Unfortunately neither driver works for Mysql 4.1.7 . I get a " Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client (Mysql::Error)" message when trying to connect as root to localhost with a password (mysql variable old_passwords is turned on as well). Any clues?
