Hi Arnoud,

Thanks for your interest in MonetDB.

First some stupid questions.  Do you use GNU-make? (gmake) or bsd-make
(pmake, whatever)?  Did you run a bootstrap or not?  (If you don't know,
the answer is no :) )

This is nasty and usually points to some misconfiguration, for instance
when gcc doesn't have the includes in the include path, but configure
can just find it.

I agree it's nasty, but i've seen it before and it still seems to work in most cases I've seen it.

I assume you or your MUA did insert the links here, because if they are
there is something horribly wrong.

It wasn't me. Maybe it was gmail or the mailinglist program, but not me ;)

The .mk files are in the toplevel dir:
% find MonetDB -name "*.mk"
MonetDB/html.mk
MonetDB/rules.mk
