Description Johann Queuniet 2007-12-05 22:07:17 UTC

LIBRARY MANUAL SPECIFICATION ERROR:
  The user-specified database header file directory
    /opt/firebird/include
  does not exist.
  Try modifying the 'database_include_dir' option in
  the 'manual_config' section of the setup config file (setup.cfg),
  or comment out that option to force this script to
  to autodetect it.

Summary says it all. Firebird moved from /opt to /usr. It may be a bigger problem than it seems since I can't get my hands on any of the firebird.h or fb_*.h headers in /usr/include either.

Copying the src/include directory from the source archive to /opt/firebird seems to fix the problem, but I'm sure somebody can find a sligthly less crude solution.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kinterbasdb
2. watch the fireworks

fixed ebuild for kinterbasdb

Seems there actually is firebird headers in /usr/include. A trivial fix was enough to make it works again.

Yarr, just location of headers moved.
