That works fine.
Actually, I was trying to use the Bones database to store attributes of my network
elements through tkined. This required modification of msqltcl.c to remove the
call to IS_PRI_KEY which used to reside in the msql.h file, but is no longer used
with mSQL 2.x. After this change the installation worked without an error and
Bones is available as a tool.
I am now making adjustments to the bones.tcl script to work with the new data
types. I'll post the changes once I'm satisfied everything's working correctly.
