Hi,

I have a problem installing Firebird CS (database server) on Yellow
Dog Linux, which is a distro for PPC. The ./autogen.sh process went
well but I got stuck at the 'make' part.

This is the error I got:

make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/firebird-1.5.1.4481/src'
make -f ../gen/Makefile.libfbcommon libfbcommon
make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/firebird-1.5.1.4481/src'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/firebird-1.5.1.4481/src'

It seems that firebird does not realise that it is a linux on a PPC
system.

I appreciate anyone for their solutions and comments.

Thanks.

Cheers
Maurice
