Ok, I'll check with the latest prerelease using valgrind.

This is ok. dbi_driver_dir contains a custom driver directory or
nothing if you want to use the compile-time default. You're doing the
latter, as indicated two lines further down.

This is correct. This setting is for libdbi.so, not for the drivers.

This should work, although it should not be necessary.

This shouldn't work.

This all looks pretty wacky, I guess there's more than just one
problem. First of all, you should always test your libdbi-drivers
installation. That is, after:

(libdbi) make && make install
(libdbi-drivers) make && make install

you should run

(libdbi-drivers) make check

This will tell you whether the lib itself works properly. I believe
one of your problems is that some of the older files are still present
on your system. When you start refdbd, it tries to load the drivers
from /usr/lib/dbi which indicates that refdbd is linked against the
Debian version of libdbi (they put everything into /usr; scratchbuilt
stuff goes into /usr/local). Make sure you delete the Debian packages
for libdbi and the drivers, plus the development packages.

Then you'll have to rebuild libdbi-drivers as they are most likely
built using the old development files. After that, make check should
work and refdbd should start up ok.

Markus
