I think you should modify the gda-config script because it now needs to report
the libgda-common lib: gda-config --libs gdaui should return:
-L/usr/local/lib -lgda-client -lgda-common -lgdaui -lgnomeprint

Has anybody tried yet the DCDB database engine
(http://w3.tvi.cc.nm.us/~dmay/dcdb.html)? If it looks good, why not add a
provider for that server? Just an idea!
