newbe compile problem

[Madarasz Karoly <mkaroly hotpop com>]

Hello all!

1. Running autogen.sh result in Makefiles with 0 length.
There are some
 Broken pipe: sed: invalid s command
messages when the configure script try to create the Makefiles.
I have linux-2.2.12 kernel on debian 2.1 slink system.

2. Please confirm if I understood right:
a) gnome-db is suitable for writing a three-tiered application,
I must write an application server and a client application.
b) gnome-db has a more easy to use database library,
and a database GUI library. 

I was looking for a RAD tool suitable to build SQL based database
applications for linux. I hope gnome-db is something like this.
I didn't find other projects.

Thanks,
Karesz.
