Hi Mark,<br>
<br>
What follows may be an intricate reading involving language,
manners, and how the Open Source world works. Please read carefully.<br>

I should have asked “Is it possible that nobody that uses Cuis
Smalltalk in macOS accesses relational databases?”</blockquote>
<br>
Who knows? Cuis Smalltalk is MIT license you get the whole system,
free for any use, without any obligations. That means that you are
not required to disclose what you do with it. As a consequence of
that, the answer to "it is possible that nobody that uses Cuis
Smalltalk does XXX?" is true, for any XXX. Does this matter? I don't
think so.<br>
<br>
A much better way to react would be something like "Hi Folks. I'm
trying to do XXX. I know the system is fully open and explicitly
designed to make it easy for me to solve my technical problems, but
I'm still unable to do so. Has anybody faced these kinds of problems
I'm seeing before, and is willing to help me?".<br>
<br>
That will indeed work much better.<br>
<br>
Additionally, some comment from you revealing that you have already
read the contents of the /Documentation/Technical folder would be
appreciated. Your first message made me believe you hadn't realized
you had trouble calling an API via FFI. But Jon's answer doesn't
tell you that, and assumes you already know that. Your following
message makes me now believe that you know that the problem may be
"how to reference a lib path in the Open Smalltalk VM", indeed being
aware that this is a problem with FFI.<br>
<br>
Once you realize that, you may also realize that this problem has
almost nothing to do with Cuis Smalltalk. A bit of googling shows
people asking similar (but better formed) questions in nginx and
lua.<br>
<br>
I'm starting to have doubts about your intellectual honesty while
asking these questions. I think the Cuis community deserves better
than this.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Yikes! Sounds complicated. Can you point me to any
documentation that describes how I could reference a lib
path in the Open Smalltalk VM?
