Re: [Refdb-users] make error

Hi,

Daniel O'Donnell <dan...@ul...> was heard to say:

> refdbdref.c: In function =E2=80=98read_ris_data=E2=80=99:

This is nothing to really worry about. There is an inconsistency about th=
e type
of an argument between the *BSDs and other OSes like Linux. In one case t=
here's
a char*, in the other case there'sa const char*. If I fix this on Linux, =
I'll
get a warning on BSD and vice versa. However, the char* vs. const char* i=
s a
compile-time warning which will not cause a runtime error as the sizes of=
 both
pointers are identical. Unfortunately the iconv header file does not use =
a
typedef which would allow to work around this issue.

This points to a libdbi version issue. DBI_ROW_ERROR is declared in
<prefix>/include/dbi/dbi.h in libdbi versions 0.8.0 and later. If you use=
 an
older version of libdbi, you'll simply have to upgrade. If you do have 0.=
8.0 or
later installed, you may have stale header files lying around from a prev=
ious
installation of an older version. E.g. if you had installed 0.7.x in /usr=
 and
later installed 0.8.0 in /usr/local, the older headers will pop up first =
when
the compiler looks for the include files.

Markus
