Re: [gnome-db] Error compiling libgda 1.3.4 on RHES 4.1

[Chandana De Silva <chandana desilva id au>]

Hi Vivien,
Thanks. I edited the gamin.pc file and got past that point. It is now 
breaking on the free tds provider.
Here is the gamin.pc file:
---------------------------------------
$ cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gamin.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include

Name: gamin
Description: The gamin file monitoring system.
Version: 0.0.17
Requires: glib-2.0 gthread-2.0
Libs: -L${libdir}
Cflags: -I${includedir}
--------------------------

This is the error from the freetds provider:
