-| 1.2.x | Compile options now use ''-rpath'' to hard-code location of libdbi and avoid environment setup hassles |
-Libdbi is a "database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to the DBI/DBD layer in Perl".  Currently we use it for cstore, which is a C based interface to the database, and for reporter-store, the reporting system's backend service.
-  * Get libdbi sources [[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23824|here]]
-  * Get the libdbi-drivers sources [[https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=65979|here]]
-  * Build libdbi
-    <code>./configure --disable-docs && make all install</code>
-  * Build libdbi-drivers.
-    <code>
-    # note: you may not need or may need to change --with-pgsql-dir=/opt/
-    ./configure --with-pgsql-dir=/opt/ --disable-docs --with-pgsql --enable-libdbi && make all install
-    </code>
-  * **[Note - only for versions prior to Evergreen 1.2.x]**: When all of this is done, you **must** ensure that ''/usr/local/lib'' and ''/usr/local/lib/dbd'' are added to your ld path. If you encounter an error in ''osrfsys.log'' similar to ''WARN: Failed to dlopen library file oils_cstore.so: libdbdpgsql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'', you probably have not set this part of your environment correctly. On most systems, you can use one of the following approaches:
-    * Modify the ''LD_LIBRARY_PATH'' environment variable for the ''opensrf'' user:
-      - In your favorite text editor, open ''/home/opensrf/.bashrc'' (assuming you're running the bash shell)
-      - Add the following line to the bottom of the file:<code>
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/dbd:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-</code>
-      - Run ''. /home/opensrf/.bashrc'' to set your environment immediately. Any subsequent times that you log in as ''opensrf'' the environment will be set automatically for you.
-    * **OR** Modify the ld path for the entire system. (//Note//: This does not work on Gentoo; see the [[installing_prerequisites_on_gentoo|Gentoo install]] documentation for an alternative approach.)
-      - As the root user, open ''/etc/ld.so.conf'' in a text editor
-      - Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:<code>
-/usr/local/lib
-/usr/local/lib/dbd
-</code>
-      - Run ''ldconfig'' to reload the system path.
