Hi all,
 I've been trying to compile GNUcash source ver 2.4.3 downloaded frm
gnucash.org ... while running ./configure,
i get error ,here is a spinet of last few lines :

> configure: External QOF Disabled.  Using Internal QOF Code.

checking dbi/dbi.h usability... no

checking dbi/dbi.h presence... no

checking for dbi/dbi.h... no

configure: error: Unable to find dbi/dbi.h




and one more thing the source code Gnu cash on gnucash.org is different from
that available on SVN??
because the size on gnucash.org is something less than 9MB but that on SVN
greater in size last time I tried downloading it did something about
19.8MB and then net got disconnected...I don't 've very good internet
connection here right now...
