Well, well. You are right, even the libdbi package in Ubuntu intrepid 
does not contain this file. My patch was integrated into libdbi CVS
at Wed Oct 22 22:36:18 2008 UTC. But as it seems no release has 
been made ever since.

The LIBDBI_CFLAGS and LIBDBI_LIBS options should work though. Try:

LIBDBI_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include LIBDBI_LIBS="-L/usr/lib -ldbi" ./configure

This should work.

Also I've added the following patch to recognize libdbi even if the .pc 
file is not installed.

You can grab it from the git repository, or wait till tomorrow for the nightly snapshot.

    [configure] added kludge to recognize libdbi without an installed dbi.pc file
    
    libdbi does not always install a pkg-config file, work without one, assuming
    it was installed to the default location.
