[gnome-db]libgda-0.2.3 and Oracle 8i Enterprise

[Bob Jones <bobjones68 yahoo com>]

Hi all.

I hate to sound like a newbie, but considering that I have just made the 
switch from Windoze to Linux, I am.  Anyway, I seem to be having probs 
configuring/compiling libgda-0.2.3 to run with Oracle 8i.  If I use the 
following:

./configure
make
make install

it compiles and installs great.  But, when I run gnome-db (after 
compiling/installing) there are no GDA providers and it won't accept my 
manual additions.  So it appears to me that I have to specify that I 
want Oracle support.  Hence using ./configure --with-oracle=<oracle home 
dir.> (using <oracle home/lib> refuses to even configure properly).  
Using this switch works fine until make gets to 
libgda-0.2.3/providers-gda-oracle-server at which point its throws the 
following:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -1server
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
..........

My question is; is there some parameter I'm missing during the 
configuration (or a directory that needs to be added to /etc/ld.so.conf 
or .profile) or is there another way to get libgda to compile for a 
locally running Oracle8i server?

Thanks in advance.
Bob Jones
