a bottle of kennie to the first one that finds where the CGI engines went...

[Mark Waddingham]

Hi Andre,

The latest 2.6 linux engine (engine version 2.6.5) should work fine as a
CGI engine. It has both the revXML and revDB externals compiled in - but
not the drivers.

As I recall, the first (non-CGI) engine version to have these externals
compiled in on Linux was 2.6.1 so that could be why you are having
trouble with 2.6 (engine version) engine.

You need to use revSetDatabaseDriverPath (or revdb_setdriverpath) to
point to the directory containing the database drivers before you try
and open a database connection.

The engine only attempts to load GTK when you do set the look and feel
to appearance manager so this shouldn't cause a problem.

Also doing:
  #! <path to revolution> -ui
will ensure that the engine never tries to do any gui stuff (and makes
standard input and output work as you would expect of a command-line
engine).

Hope this helps,

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
