Sorry for the ot post, please reply off-list. I'm trying to build a little application in MySQL to dabble a bit and expand my horizons and I know there are MySQL folks out there. In MS Access, the IDE is easy to use to build a quick simple application, but with MySQL, the best thing I've found is Rekall. I've downloaded and gotten past a few install bugs, but II keep getting this error: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! The RTFM README's with the download seem to indicate that I can install with just QT (which appears to be fully installed) so I think I'm just missing a setting somewhere. I'm using RedHat 9. Any pointers? Is there an IDE that would be easier to get installed or any other recommendations? Stephen -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
