I'm using 0.2.92 (I've done configure so many times
that I don't have any outputs).

I untarred everything again, did a configure with
--prefix=/usr, hand-removed the old stuff from
/usr/local.

OK. I got gasql working fine. I could get the
gnomedb-mgr running from gasql and configured up a
DSN, etc. It was good.

----------> BUT, gnomedb-fe is still as empty as
before.
NOW what am I doing wrong. I even did a system restart
but same problem.

---------> A few minor ones with gasql also.
1) gnomedb-mgr keeps running after I quit gasql.
I need to kill it to access it after running gasql
again else gasql hangs.
2) I'm unable to edit any tuple in a table. After
editing, I press save and it says -
'There is no data to be modified. The modifiations
have been cancelled.' And all my changes are gone.

Tried it to no effect.

Anyway, I can add/edit DSN via gasql so it's okay for
now.

But,
1) what's so special about --prefix=/usr that it
works?
2) small problems yet in gasql.

Have got glade running with gnome-db but I had to
remove the login-dlg and error-dlg widgets as they
gave compile problems. Also some changes to NULL
arguments in error and login widgets.

I'll try to write python bindings for Gnome 1.4 as of
now.
