VBISAM doens't work in a new installation Debian ...

[Everaldo Bernardo Cunha]

Friends, I tried to install the vbisam package in the Debian 13 after a update of the Operation System (I had the 12 version Debian) and now it doesn't install vbisam. Now appear various errors messages in the terminal, see below:

What is happen now? Why it show errors to the run the make command? I'll await your answer!

You can try to use CFLAGS=-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types on the configure step of BDB, if that doesn't work try to "downgrade" GCC options by configuring with CC="gcc -std=gnu17" and if that doesn't work check with gnu11, gnu99 or even gnu89.

In any case: Did you try to use Ron's VBISAM update instead? http://inglenet.ca/Products/GnuCOBOL/vbisam-2.2.tar.Z
[yes, I know, updating the official VBISAM is long overdue...]

[Everaldo Bernardo Cunha]

Now it worked! I decide to update the VBISAM to the 2.2 how you indicated ... thank you!

Hi,
I'm trying to configure Gnucobol 3.2 with vbisam 2,2 without luck up to now. What is the exact path you followed in order to be succesfull?

Many thanks.

Serge.

[Everaldo Bernardo Cunha]

I used the traditional mode: "configure", "make", "sudo make install" ... after I installed other packages: libxml2-2.9.7, gmp-6.2.0 and cJSON-master and so I installed GNUCobol 3.2 and run "sudo ldconfig" ...

[serge lacombe]

Thanks for your answer;

I have the same packages installed but when i try to configure Gnucobol 3.2 using

./configure --with-vbisam.,the process abends with:

checking vbisam.h usability... no
checking vbisam.h presence... no
checking for vbisam.h... no
configure: error: vbisam.h is required for VBISAM

What am i missing?

[Simon Sobisch]

How did you install VBISAM (and which version)?
