> Looks like you probably have the libdbi bug (http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_tried_to_start_up_Gnucash_2.4.1_on_my_SQL_database_and_I_got_an_error_about_libdbi_and_large_numbers). I'll add a more explicit failure warning to the test so that it's obvious what the problem is.

I've looked at the code again, and I think that you don't have any dbi drivers installed rather than that you have the libdbi bug. Error code 3 is "BAD URL", and it's emitted when the required backend can't be initialized.

If you don't want to build a SQL backend, just pass --disable-dbi to configure. If you do, then you'll need to troubleshoot a bit to figure out why Gnucash can't find the ones you've built. You may need to export GNC_DBD_DIR with the path to where they are.
