Hum ... I do not find it.
I've no dtd directory into ${prefix}/share/libgda
only an xml one containing the following files:

gda-report.dtd  
gda-report-result.dtd  
gda-xml-query.dtd  
gda-xml-query.xsl


Perhaps I have to install a more recent version of libgda.
Currently I have the 1.2.3 version installed (on my gentoo).

But it's seem that the download page is not yet ready on the web site
(at least for stable version).


I've find a 1.9.99 that I've download and tried to install, but I've a
compilation error:


gda-data-model-array.c:28:43: libgda/gda-data-model-private.h: No such
file or directory

make[1]: *** [gda-data-model-array.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/libgda-1.9.99/libgda'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


...

And there's no libgda-dict.dtd file in the source tree:


marzu libgda-1.9.99 # pwd
/usr/src/packages/libgda-1.9.99
marzu libgda-1.9.99 # find . -name "*.dtd"
./report/gda-report.dtd
./report/gda-report-result.dtd
./data/gda-xml-query.dtd
marzu libgda-1.9.99 #


Could you tell me in which package the file is ? And where I could find
it ? Or could you just send it to me ?

Thanks all
Laurent Marzullo
