Re: [Refdb-users] Problems compiling pre4

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi Mike,

you're facing two problems:

- you're using an outdated libdbi version. The whole character
  conversion stuff relies on a libdbi function that I've added to the
  latest release only. You'll have to install libdbi-0.7.2 and
  libdbi-drivers-0.7.1 before RefDB will compile.

- for some reason, configure does not perform the libiconv test
  properly. The ld commands show that there's no attempt to link
  against libiconv, hence the unresolved iconv* function calls. Could
  you please check what configure says about libiconv?

I've tested the latest prerelease on FreeBSD 4.7 and Debian 3.0
without any problems. I hope we can resolve these issues on the other
platforms asap.

regards,
Markus
