RE: web datablade 4.00

Hi, I just installed the WebDatablade etc Sunday on my Suse 6.4 machine. In addition to point 5 I had to use more libraries in the EXTRA_LIBS part. I added -lcrypt and -ldl because otherwise the compilation of apache (1.3.12) failed. cu Thomas -- ************************************************************** Thomas von Siebenthal Tel +41 32 645 04 71 Tecno Software Fax +41 32 645 04 74 Flurstrasse 28A Email T.v.Siebenthal@tecnosoft.ch CH-2544 Bettlach http://www.tecnosoft.ch ************************************************************** > This is your problem: You are trying to install the web datablade with a > previously installed Apache configuration. > > Before you do all this, make sure that you have Informix 9.2 installed and > working. > > 1.
