<a name="installation-installing"></a>Installing</h2></div></div></div>
<p>
Installation depends on which format you choose to download. If
you've got a package such as <a href="http://foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?query=RPM"><span class="acronym">RPM</span></a> or <a href="http://foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?query=DEB"><span class="acronym">DEB</span></a>, check
your package manager documentation for how to install new packages.
</p>
<p>
If you downloaded the source code (in a tarball), you must
compile the software. To do so, once you have unpacked
the source tree, you must:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<code class="prompt">$</code> <strong class="userinput"><code>./configure</code></strong>
<code class="prompt">$</code> <strong class="userinput"><code>make</code></strong>
<code class="prompt">$</code> <strong class="userinput"><code>make install</code></strong>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This will generate the makefiles for your specific platform,
compile all the source tree, and install the binaries and
documentation in your system.
</p>
<p>
If you don't find a file named <code class="filename">configure</code>, there
should be one called <code class="filename">autogen.sh</code>. In this case,
run <code class="filename">autogen.sh</code>, which will create and run the
generated <code class="filename">configure</code> file.
</p>
<p>
You can specify several arguments to <code class="filename">configure</code> (or
<code class="filename">autogen.sh</code>). The most significant are (you can
check all the available arguments by running
<span class="command"><strong>configure --help</strong></span>):
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="bullet">
<li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>--prefix=<directory></code></strong>: Prefix where
package will be installed
</p></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>--with-mysql=<directory></code></strong>: Specify
directory where <span class="application">MySQL</span> libraries are installed
</p></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>--with-postgres=<directory></code></strong>:
Specify directory where <span class="application">PostgreSQL</span> libraries are installed
</p></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>--with-sybase=<directory></code></strong>: Specify
directory where <span class="application">Sybase</span> libraries are installed
</p></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>--with-ldap=<directory></code></strong>: Specify
directory where <a href="http://foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?query=LDAP"><span class="acronym">LDAP</span></a> libraries are installed
</p></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>--with-oracle=<directory></code></strong>: Specify
directory where <span class="application">Oracle</span> libraries are installed
</p></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>--with-interbase=<directory></code></strong>: Specify
directory where <span class="application">Interbase</span> libraries are installed
</p></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>--with-mdb=<directory></code></strong>: Specify
directory where the MDB libraries (for accessing <span class="application">MS Access</span> files)
are installed
</p></li>
<li style="list-style-type: disc"><p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>--with-sqlite=<directory></code></strong>: Specify
directory where the SQLite libraries are installed
</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
Libraries needed by providers are searched by default, so, if found, providers are
compiled by default. Those libraries are searched in hard-coded directories, so
if the installation of these libraries is in an uncommon place, the above arguments
should be used to specify the directories where the libraries and header files
are installed.
</p>
<p>
If you find any problem during the configuration, compilation or
installation process, do not hesitate in contacting the
<span class="application">GNOME-DB</span> mailing list (<code class="email"><<a class="email" href="mailto:gnome-db-list@gnome.org">gnome-db-list@gnome.org</a>></code>, first
send an email to <code class="email"><<a class="email" href="mailto:gnome-db-list-request@gnome.org">gnome-db-list-request@gnome.org</a>></code> with
the subject SUBSCRIBE, if you are not already subscribed).

<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="installation-debian"></a>Debian installation</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
If you are using <a class="ulink" href="http://www.debian.org" target="_top">Debian</a> you
will need to install a few packages in the following way:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<code class="systemitem">$</code> <strong class="userinput"><code> apt-get install <em class="replaceable"><code>package-names</code></em></code></strong>
</pre>
<p>
These are the packages you will need for this:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li><p>libgda2-1</p></li>
<li><p>libgda2-common</p></li>
<li><p>libgda2-dev</p></li>
<li><p>libgda2-doc</p></li>
<li><p>libgda2-dbg</p></li>
<li><p>libgda2-ruby (Ruby bindings)</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
Alternatively, you can install the different providers that allow access to the
different supported data sources. The packages you can choose from are:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li><p>gda2-postgres for PostgreSQL databases</p></li>
<li><p>gda2-mysql for MySQL databases</p></li>
<li><p>gda2-odbc for ODBC data sources</p></li>
<li><p>gda2-freetds for Sybase and MS SQL Server databases</p></li>
<li><p>gda2-sqlite for SQLite databases</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
You can obtain information about any packages with:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<code class="systemitem">$</code> <strong class="userinput"><code> apt-cache show <em class="replaceable"><code>package-names</code></em></code></strong>
</pre>
<p>
If you cannot find this packages, you must include in
<code class="filename">/etc/apt/sources.list</code>
a line like this:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
deb http://gluck.debian.org/~kov/debian woody gnome2
</pre>
