That doesn't work either!  I got the latest source (libgda-5.2.4.tar.xz) 
from ftp.gnome.org, I configured with the following:-

    ./configure --enable-system-sqlite --with-help

... and it returned the following summary:-

     Configuration summary for version 5.2.4
       Installation prefix = /usr/local

       Binreloc support is disabled: Libgda will not be relocatable. To
    enable binreloc support re-run with --enable-binreloc (see
    http://autopackage.org/docs/binreloc for more information)

It specifically says "Building Help (GdaBrowser):  yes" but there's no
GdaBrowser executable built anywhere.  (I've looked for all variations
I can think of with upper and lower case).  I've even searched through
all the executables it's built and it's not there.  (Oh, yes, just in
case you were wondering - I have run 'make')


I suspect the config/make is broken somewhere and it hasn't been
building DbaBrowser for a while!
