Re: [gnome-db] How to build libgda and use it with Vala

 

I have installed Firebird2.5-classic, the client library, the embedded
library and the dev files following the instructions here: 

_https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.5_ 

but the script still does not compile for Firebird. 

If I use the find command to look for ibase.h it is in /usr/include 

_sudo find / -name ibase.h_
_/usr/include/ibase.h_ 

so I think the dev files did install correctly. 

Is there something I can tweak to make the script find the Firebird dev
files?
