   If you don't have one of the supported data bases on your system

   most of the commonly known dbcs's require a data base user 
   to be installed. This normally required certain DBA privileges.
   There for this step is expected to be done manual as shown   
   below (The name of the user, the name 
   of the data base is specified in make.conf.in).

   test data base already at this point by the following commands:
   <PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>      make removedb 
      make createdb

   This will create a database gnade which contains at least the 
   table EMPLOYEES which may be checked manually.

   GNADE is installed and the make files are used, all components
   are taken from the GNADE lib directory. This method limits the 
   use to one user. In order to make GNADE available to all users
   on your system you need to install the GNADE libraries. Installation
   is done as root by executing the directory ../gnuada/gnade the
