Re: make error

Hi,

Daniel O'Donnell <[email protected]> was heard to say:

This is nothing to really worry about. There is an inconsistency about the type
of an argument between the *BSDs and other OSes like Linux. In one case there's
a char*, in the other case there'sa const char*. If I fix this on Linux, I'll
get a warning on BSD and vice versa. However, the char* vs. const char* is a
compile-time warning which will not cause a runtime error as the sizes of both
pointers are identical. Unfortunately the iconv header file does not use a
typedef which would allow to work around this issue.

This points to a libdbi version issue. DBI_ROW_ERROR is declared in
<prefix>/include/dbi/dbi.h in libdbi versions 0.8.0 and later. If you use an
older version of libdbi, you'll simply have to upgrade. If you do have 0.8.0 or
later installed, you may have stale header files lying around from a previous
installation of an older version. E.g. if you had installed 0.7.x in /usr and
later installed 0.8.0 in /usr/local, the older headers will pop up first when
the compiler looks for the include files.

regards,
Markus
