5 available at http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ to mount your database as file

37 42 dpavlin Fuse module comes from CVS version of Fuse. It's important to have fuse
38 library and perl bindings in sync. In past, it was tested with older
39 versions of fuse, but no guarantees are made for this to work.

41 42 dpavlin If you have problem compiling Fuse perl bindings, try to apply patch from
42 fuse-perl-patch directory. This shouldn't be necessary because current CVS
43 version of Fuse perl bindings already has this patch applied.
