Hi, first of all, I was surprised to learn that GnuCash uses libdbi these days. One more reason to finally get a feature-complete and bug-free 1.0 done! A few comments to the problems that you reported here and in the mailing list threads above. 1) I think Artyom is right in that the library libdbi cannot do much about how a program linked against it influences (or doesn't influence) printf's interactions with locale settings. One of the GnuCash developers obviously included some patch for this problem. I hope this is going to work for you. 2) if not, would it be possible to set a different locale in a GnuCash start script as a temporary workaround? 3) we seem to have a bootstrapping issue with building our new test kit. I've seen similar problems after "make check", however they seem to exist only on first-time installations. The reason seems to be that gcc doesn't pick up the libdbi headers although an appropriate option (-I/usr/include in your case) is present. I haven't got around debugging this and I'd appreciate if others could confirm this problem or report how to get around it. 4) we do have a problem with an outdated and ill-conceived build system. It should be modified to pick up user-defined CFLAG and LDFLAG settings, and it should drop those platform-specific optimizations and leave that to either package maintainers or to users who know what they're doing. This includes the -ffast-math option which obviously gets in your way. This was requested recently on the ML or in a tracker item. 5) we have rewritten the test kit completely. The tests are now designed to detect incorrect return values in addition to any program failures. However, your make test snippet (apparently from GnuCash's copy of the old test kit) indicates that the _tz data are expected to be returned as 0 because the tests were skipped for that driver. I'd have to investigate why this is the case here. It should not happen in the latest versions as MySQL does support timezones IIRC. In any case, please let us know if the GnuCash developers' latest patches make things work for you. I'll try to fix the above-mentioned libdbi issues as soon as time permits. Running libdbi-based apps shouldn't be that disappointing, after all. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
