problem installing SQLat...

[Mia_tech]

I'm trying to install SQLat and it depends on freetds, which I installed before, but when running ./configure for sqlat I get this error

checking for tds_alloc_login in -ltds... no
configure: error: Unable to find freetds library

any help appreciated

thanks

You need the development files if you need it for compilation. So look for a version of it in synaptic that ends with -dev.

[Mia_tech]

that is besides the build-essential package?... I did a search in synaptic and there are lots of files ending in -dev, could you be more specific?


thanks

sqllib.c:695: error: ‘TDSBLOBINFO’ undeclared (first use in this function)
sqllib.c:695: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

this might be of help to anyone.. at the end of the "make install" for the freetds app I get this message....to it seems that it installed

/bin/bash ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/etc
if test ! -f /usr/local/etc/freetds.conf; then \
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./freetds.conf /usr/local/etc/freetds.conf; \
fi
if test ! -f /usr/local/etc/locales.conf; then \
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./locales.conf /usr/local/etc/locales.conf; \
fi
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jorge/freetds-0.82'
