Could you try with the patched configure.in with the attached patch?

For my own information, could you be more specific about how those providers
worked?

Is it correct that fewer providers are included than in the older versions?
Or are my database libraries no longer properly detected?

Yes, for now only the SQLite, PostgreSQL and MDB providers are fully
functionnal, with MySQL close to being. However writing providers should now
be simplified as many support functions have been added in Libgda.
