Hi,

I need to install kinterbasdb on linux (ubuntu server 9.02), with python
2.6 and firebird 2.1 SS.
(I need to install kinterbasdb on virtualenv)

Then, I download the source code (3.3.0) and I tried to build it from
source using: python setup.py build
A lot of error are raised, and the problem is what I'm not a linux
expert and I don't understand it at all what it means.

vikingo@terri:~/soft/kinterbasdb$ python setup.py build
compiling '_configtest.c':
int main (void) { }
_configtest.c: In function âmainâ:
_configtest.c:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfbclient
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

COMPILER ERRORS THAT ARISE DURING THIS PHASE ARE NOT A PROBLEM.

_configtest.c:4: error: expected â;â, â,â or â)â before â*â token
_configtest.c:6: warning: function declaration isnât a prototype



Can somebody explain me what is the problem here?

Any advice will help

Thank's in advance.
