[Info-ingres] Problem compiling perl DBI

[Martin Bowes]

Hi Uwe

The Makefile has:
OTHERLDFLAGS =  -L"/dbsystem/II/ingres/lib" -lingres -lrt

That is the correct path for this installation.

Hi,

is a option -L missing?

Following option -lingres the compiler search for libingres.a, libingres.so ... on a list of directories. The directory list is expanded with options -L...

my makefiles use

    ... -L/opt/Actian/IngresII/ingres/lib -lingres ...
