Hi,

I installed Debian Wheezy the other day to get access to a functional
installation of firebird for testing purposes. In oder to build the
firebird driver, I had to bend over backwards and issue the following
commands:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu ./configure --with-firebird
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu make

To a longtime FreeBSD user, the requirement of such an arcane LDFLAGS
setting appears just odd. Have I been missing something in terms of
linuxisms in the past couple of years? Does firebird offer something
along the lines of "mysql-config" to deal with headers and libraries
in a platform-independent way? At this time, the magic in acinclude.m4
fails to uncover the libraries on Debian.

regards,
Markus
