are you sure? It shouldn't work, since you're calling gda_corba_get_orb
without having initialized CORBA. That is, you either need a call to
gda_init/gnome_db_init/oaf_init before doing that, or just pass NULL as
the ORB parameter to bonobo_init. But, in this last case, I don't think
it would work, since bonobo_init needs OAF to have been initialized
before.

Maybe you changed the gnome_init_with_popt_table to replace
gnome_CORBA_init or something?

Oh, and BTW, the order in which you call
gda_init/gnome_init_with_popt_table is not relevant, so you can just
move the call to gda_init just before bonobo_init.

I think you should make a new tarball, since it won't work like this.
And, about the Mandrake problem, I'm almost sure (after having checked
with Michael Meeks) that it's got something to do with the packages, not
with bonobo/oaf/libgda/gASQL themselves. Well, at least, I hope so :-)
