 From the documentation (which probably needs changing):
 ------------------------------------------------
 # list of GNATS databases and aliases
 #
 # Field 1 - fully qualified path to database
 # Field 2 - a comma separated list of aliases
 /usr/local/gnats/standard-db:normal,standard,regular
 /usr/local/gnats/alternate-db:alt
 /home/gnats/special-db:special
 ------------------------------------------------
 What this means to me is that I need to specify the full path to the
 database.  To me, this means $GNATS_ROOT/database.
 Also, Field 2:  This is supposed to be a list of aliases to the same
 database.  I figured that I needed no alias to the database, so I left it
 out and even ommitted the ':' because of db_conf.c might not be so forgiving
 on having the colon there with nothing after it.
 
 Here is what I did.  I did add what you said and still had errors, so I
 tried a few things.
 I found out that "Field 1" needs to be $GNATS_ROOT, and then "Field 2" ( as
 you stated) is the database name.
 I didn't fully understand why the example didn't show an example of having
 only "Field 1" without a "Field 2".
 
 My current /etc/gnats-db.conf file:
 ------------------------------------------------
 # list of GNATS databases and aliases
 #
 # Field 1 - fully qualified path to a GNATS_ROOT
 # Field 2 - a comma separated list of database names & aliases within that
 GNATS_ROOT
 /usr/web/gnats:tabbs

 I know that the Query failed because I have nothing in the database.  Is
 that all there is for the Makefile?
 
 Thanks,
 Aaron.

 Add ":tabbs" to the line above. The first field of the gnats-db.conf file 
 is the path to the database, the second field is the database name, and you 
 seem to be missign the second field.
