gASQL does not use gda-config/gnomedb-config to find headers? Vivien? It
should do so:

~$ gda-config --cflags       
-I/opt/gnome/include/libgda-0.2.93/gda
~$ gnomedb-config --cflags
-I/opt/gnome/include/libgda-0.2.93/gda -I/usr/include/glib-1.2
-I/usr/lib/glib/include -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2
-I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/usr/include/gnome-xml -I/usr/include/gconf/1 -I/usr/include
-I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/include/orbit-1.0
-I/usr/include/gnome-1.0 -I/usr/include -DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H

this library existed some time ago in gnome-db, but is not used anymore,
and does no longer exist.
