Install the right development package.

[mikaufmann]

and what is the right package ? in whats package are the gds ?
thanks

The right package is the package that provides libgds.so.

I have no idea in what package gds is. Maybe you can give a hint by telling what component you installed.

Also try to find out what package installed libgds.so.x.y.z with x, y, z digits.

libgds.so is the client library of borland interbase database.
It is a symbolic link to /opt/interbase/lib/libgds.so.0

If you have installed the opensource database firebird,
libgds.so is a symbolic link to /opt/firebird/lib/libfbclient.so.0.

Install the firebird database from www.ibphoenix.com.
