Thread: ODBC Driver for Linux

ODBC Driver for Linux

From
"Joseph A. Martin"
Date:
Hello,I need an ODBC driver that I can run under Linux. I am running 
PostgreSQL 6.5.1 on a Mandrake 6.0. I have tried the driver that is
distributed under the filename pgodbc-0.11.tgz. I have also seen on
the PostODBC home page that its source has been ported to Linux. I
downloaded the source code and could find no Linux build instructions
or makefiles. Where can I find a Linux ODBC driver for PostgreSQL?

Thanks,
joseph

You may want to consider trying the RPM set released for RedHat 6.1 --
available for RedHat 6.0 on my website, www.ramifordistat.net.  The set, which
is 6.5.2-1, should work fine under Mandrake 6.0. The ODBC driver is included in
the set by default -- I have not as of yet set it up myself, but I do need to
do so for StarOffice shortly.  If you try it, let me know how it goes.

I compiled a RPM for Mandrake 6.1 yesterday. I'll upload it to
ftp.linux-mandrake.com/incoming on monday 99/10/18.

It works with PostgreSQL and StarOffice 5.1
