All seemed to go well, except for some complaints about missing libglade and libgnomeui, which didn't stop the build. mdbtools seems to be working, except for a Segmentation fault when the '-H' (omit the header row) is used:

Kevin,

Try re-building the programs after applying the attached patch.  It fixes 
a handful of known segfault causing bugs.  I can't guarantee it'll work 
for you but...

Untar the source as before, then from inside the source directory:

patch -p1 < mdbtools-combined.patch

Then configure, build and install as usual.

Let me know if this does/doesn't work for you. 

Thanks,
David
