I'm using the free version of Mandriva 2008.1. Searching the media on this site and any other mirror I have looked at, there are only 4 SQL plugin packages available: qt4-database-plugin-mysql-lib-4.3.4-6mdv2008.1.i586.rpm qt4-database-plugin-odbc-lib-4.3.4-6mdv2008.1.i586.rpm qt4-database-plugin-pqsql-lib-4.3.4-6mdv2008.1.i586.rpm qt4-database-plugin-sqlite-lib-4.3.4-6mdv2008.1.i586.rpm What I clearly need is qt4-database-plugin-ibase-lib-4.3.4-6mdv2008.1.i586.rpm but this doesn't seem to exist, so that's why I believe I will have to build it. I have now compiled the Qt source from Trolltech and it created the library file libqsqlibase.so. I copied this into the directory /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/lib/sqldrivers and my application now works. I don't know why the ibase driver is not included along with the other 4 drivers, but as far as I can the package only needs to install the file libqsqlibase.so so hopefully I can make a package.
