  Well .. I tried ;-)

  I don't know exactly how autoconf & co work, but I had to change
some stuffs in it to make it work on my box :
- unknown AC_PROG_LIBTOOL => changed to AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
- unknown AC_CONFIG_FILES => deleted and added src/Makefile in
  AC_OUTPUT list
- unknown AC_HELP_STRING => ignored because I couldn't find from
  where it appears
- Makefile contains "READLINE_LIBS = no" instead of
  "READLINE_LIBS =" => modified dyrectly in generated Makefiles cause I
  don't know how it's generated.
- g_ptr_array_foreach not in my glibc 2.2.3 version => changed
  src/sql/mdbsql.c like before 1.31 version (thanks to "cvs diff"  ;-)

  After this, everything compiled fine, but the result is really weird :
- if I do this :
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=src/libmdb/.libs:src/sql/.libs
  ./src/util/mdb-export ../liste.mdb UNITE

  I got an empty result

- if I do this :
  make install
  cd "where the --prefix option points to"
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib
  bin/mdb-export ../liste.mdb UNITE

  I got the correct result !!!

  What's the difference ?
  What did "make install" do on files to make them work ?!

  Last test: after a "make install" on 0.6pre1 tar, I still got
the fault.
  It really seems to be a "twilight zone" story :-)
  So, for the moment, I've a version which works, but I'd like to
understand why !

Bye, Pif.
