Martin, I just checked my dbi version:
[r...@dms ~]# pkg_info | grep dbi libdbi-0.8.3 Database Independent Abstraction Layer for C And tested your code: [r...@dms ~]# gcc test.c -ldbi -ldl test.c: In function 'main': test.c:2: warning: return type of 'main' is not 'int' /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl I am using the latest FreeBSD portsnap, so i think the freebsd port might need a patch or two. I am going to try and resolve this error now, meanwhile if you know the solution let me know. Thank you very much for your help. Looking forward to implement RRDTool ontop of our MySQL databases.
