checking whether the g++ linker (/usr/i586-suse-linux/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes

checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so

checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate

anyone have some ideas how to solve this? /Richard

How did you start the configure process? Is there a 'build.sh'? If yes, try it. When compiling stuff you mostly need the -devel libraries, too, so check whether they're installed (libpqxx-devel, for example).

thanx for the tip about devel i checked the dependencies when i installed gcc and gcc++ but devel wasnt mentioned and i couldnt find a file called libpqxx in my search in the yast tool but then i checked a dvd i got with my distribution and found it.. now it all works fine :)the last thing to fix is som configurations for postgreSQL / Richard
