r23186 - gnucash/trunk - Bug 654196 - "make check" fails when built with --enable-dbi

[Christian Stimming]

The new test fails for me as well: Kubuntu 11.10, and config.log says:

configure:20323: checking Looking for at least one supported DBD module
configure:20343: gcc -o conftest -I/home/cs/usr/include   -ldl conftest.c -
lpthread
  >&5
/tmp/ccISRVMn.o: In function `main':
conftest.c:(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `dlopen'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:20343: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1
configure: failed program was:


I do have the libraries installed in /usr/lib/dbd/, though:

$ ls  /usr/lib/dbd/
libdbdmysql.la  libdbdpgsql.la  libdbdsqlite3.la  libdbdsqlite.la
libdbdmysql.so  libdbdpgsql.so  libdbdsqlite3.so  libdbdsqlite.so

Any ideas, someone?

Regards,

Christian
