Hi everybody. First, sorry for my english, i am argentinian.

I am trying to use a c library called openDBX that helps us talk to different RDBMS. Here is the link: http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX

I have already compiled and installed. Now, i am trying a simple c programe that uses it. The problem is that when i tried to compile this program, i have en compile error in a header i need to include of openDBX.

Mi c program (Prueba.c) is this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <odbx.h>

int main(void) {
	puts("Hello World!!");
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The file odbx is the one i need to use. See that the problems occurs during compilation, even if i don't use it. This file (odbx.h) is in /usr/local/include. I undestand that this directory is standard so i don't need to pass any parametres to gcc. don't i ?

The error is this:

In file included from Prueba.c:3:
/usr/local/include/odbx.h:206: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘odbx_rows_affected’


If i open de odbx, the line 206 is like this:

uint64_t odbx_rows_affected( odbx_result_t* result );


The uint64_t is only used there. I think there is the problem. I see that odbx.h includes the stdint, in this way:
#ifdef HAVE_STDINT_H
#include <stdint.h>

Can i have a problem with this and the gcc ??? do you need some other information so that to help me ?

I am using gcc version 4.1.3 and ubuntu gutsy gibbon.

very thanks

Your English is great -- no need to apologise for anything.

Did you define HAVE_STDINT_H somewhere ?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#ifndef HAVE_STDINT_H // if not already defined, then we'll define the symbol here
#define HAVE_STDINT_H
#endif

#include <odbx.h>

int main(void) {
	puts("Hello World!!");
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Ancient dragon: it works!! very thanks! the last time i program i c was 7 years ago, so i am starting again. The other solution i found is to include <stdint.h> before <odbx.h> in my program.
very thanks.
