Hello,
At the moment I have an application which directly uses PostgreSQL, but why not try and incorporate Gnome DB in the application?
The (excellent) GNOME Data Access 5 book describes several command line
tools. So, before writing any code, I thought it wise to first try and
set up a connection with my PostgreSQL database by means of:
gda-control-center-5.0
or
gda-test-connection-5.0
No luck so far.
gda-control-center-5.0 gives the following error message as soon as I start typing the user id / password:
couldn't connect to dbus session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message
bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or
the network connection was broken.
gda-test-connection-5.0 I gives the following error message:
WARNING **: Can't open connection to DSN PostgreSQL: Could not set search_path to /var/lib/pgsql/data
Of course, as a GNOME Data Access beginner I may do something very stupid. Maybe you can help me out.
Otherwise, since PostgreSQL runs fine and the Gnome DB command line
tools will undoubtedly function correctly, could there be a problem of
compatibility among versions of software packages?
Here is a list of software versions which I think might be of interest in the current context.
- Linux distro: openSUSE 12.2
The following packages all come from the openSUSE 12.2 repository.
- Current kernel, version 3.4.11-2.16
- PostgreSQL, version 9.1-7.16.1
- libgda, version 5.0.3-3.1.2
- libgda-postgres, version 5.0.3-3.1.2
- D-bus Message Bus System, version 1.5.12-4.10.1
Since I program in C++, after I succeed in setting up a connection with PostgreSQL through Gnome DB, I would use:
- libgdamm, version 4.99.6-2.1.2
Any idea what is going on?
Kind regards,
Andre Hasekamp.
