Thread: SQLDriverConnect

Hi,all

I'm quite new to postgres, and I'm trying to use it as an openldap backend.
For that, i have to configure my openldap with the option --enable-sql, but I have the following error messages :

checking for SQLDriverConnect in -liodbc... no
checking for SQLDriverConnect in -lodbc... no
configure: error: could not locate suitable ODBC library

I don' know what liobdc and lidbc are, and I don't know what to do..
can anybody help me?

PS : I know it's openldap messages, but the problems are linked to postgres, that's the reason why I sent the message
here..

I haven't used openldap, so I'm not sure, but I do know about PostgreSQL and
ODBC.

ODBC is a separate project than is PostgreSQL, chances are if you are on a UNIX
system, you do not have ODBC installed. ODBC is a conection management layer
that works on many databases.

hop on over to someplace like http://www.unixodbc.org and download the ODBC
system. This will satisfy the need for lodbc and provide SQLDriverConnect.
