Configure fails

[ghost]

Getting hung up here
checking for libmdb >= 0.9.0... no
checking for libmdbsql >= 0.9.0... no
configure: error: Could not find MDB Tools, which are required to build gmdb2.

However I have newer versions:
libmdb3/impish,now 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
Core library for accessing JET / MS Access (MDB) files

libmdbsql3/impish,now 0.9.4-1ubuntu1 amd64 [installed]
mdbtools SQL library

What can I do? Thx!

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 22.04. The check for the library fails, even if they seem to be installed correctly.

the terminal output to list the libraries:

/sbin/ldconfig` -p | grep 'libmdb'
libmdbsql.so.3 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmdbsql.so.3
libmdb.so.3 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmdb.so.3

Not being able to fix it, I simply removed all the checking for the mdbtools. But even then I was not able to get it going.

Any inside on what to check or change would be greatly appreciated.

I had this issue on Ubuntu 22.04 as well.

Install this package: mdbtools-dev
