Hi Elliot. I'm not 100% certain, but it looks as if it might be trying to find the headers for SQL (maybe PostGreSQL or MySQL)... the -DSQL in the first line also sorta' points to this. You might want to first do a './configure --help' and see what it mentions about SQL. If it's indeed looking for that, you might need to install the development packages for it. Also, the configure script sets up the prefix as /usr/local - you might want to use './configure --prefix=/usr', as most RPM distributions put things there, and it'll fit in with overall system layout better (IMHO). -- Take care, Randall Hobbs Programmer - System Administrator - Chip Castle Dot Com, Inc.
