Hello Pierre:

1) Did you create a brand new libdbi-drivers directory, or re-use the
existing one? I would suggest creating a brand-new libdbi-drivers directory,
personally, to ensure that there are absolutely no old compiled files or
settings hanging around from your previous compile. The fact that the
results of settings-tester did not change strongly suggests that the library
was not actually recompiled with the new setting.

2) That is a logical conclusion, however, many people who have run into
these problems have also talked with us on the #OpenILS-Evergreen channel on
Freenode, where it is quite likely that they will have received the
instruction to recompile libdbi-drivers with the --enable-libdbi flag. I
fear that many others will have gone down the same path you have gone down,
but not been so persistent as to actually discover that the documentation
was missing that instruction, and just given up on the install process. On
the other hand, perhaps there is some combination of environment variables
and other settings that makes it possible to work without --enable-libdbi...

BTW, there is another updated version of settings-tester.pl, in case you
want to update it :)
