OGR MySQL connection problem

[antti siukola]

Hi!

I've created an ovf-file which describes a layer like this
********************************************************
<OGRVRTDataSource>

    <OGRVRTLayer name="layername">
<SrcDataSource>MYSQL:layername,user=user,password=password,host=localhost,port=3306</SrcDataSource>
        <SrcSQL><SQL QUERY></SrcSQL>

        <GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="geom"/>

    </OGRVRTLayer>

</OGRVRTDataSource>
********************************************************
and ogrinfo gives me this
********************************************************
ogrinfo kaavahanke.ovf
ERROR 4: Update access not supported for VRT datasources.
ERROR 1: Failed to open datasource
             `MYSQL:layername,user=user,password=password,host=localhost,port=3306'.
FAILURE: Unable to open datasource `filename.ovf' with the following drivers.

<list of drivers including VRT>
********************************************************
I'm using GDAL 1.3.2. and MapServer 4.8.3.

What have I configured incorrectly?
