yes, it should be ok, those are the same versions I'm using myself.

the intl directory (in gnome-db) should be generated automatically. So I
don't know what may be happening here.

are you sure the .oafinfo files have been installed? I think there's
something with this, since this message you're getting (OAF doesn't
know....) is issued (in gda-server-impl.c) when
oaf_active_server_register returns OAF_REG_NOT_LISTED, which, if I'm not
wrong, means that OAF could not find the oafinfo file for this provider.

These files should be in /usr/share/oaf
