Hello,

I just build firebird-RC1 on my FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE machine. I can
connect to it using either isql on FreeBSD or ibconsole on Win2k.

I tried to compile api1.c file in examples. Compilation is failed.
Output is below:

darkstar$ gcc api1.c -c -w -I/usr/interbase/include
darkstar$ gcc -o api1 api1.o -lcrypt -lgds
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lgds
darkstar$

Anyone can give me some clues? My interbase library files are under
/usr/interbase/lib.

darkstar$ ls -l /usr/interbase/lib/
total 1990
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 449 Dec 12 21:22 a.out

darkstar$

What should I do to compile this example programs?

Best regards.
