Thread: psqlODBC development and support
I’m evaluating the postgresql odbc drivers and having a very difficult time building them on Linux (the configure step fails for several reasons). I noticed that they have not been updated in quite a while (the version 13.02 is considerably behind the current postgres version) – are they still being developed and maintained? Is there a particular version of Postgresql that they are supposed to be built against as the configure errors indicate that’s the case I.e. “configure: error: libpq library version >= 9.2 is required” and “invalid value of canonical build” . I can’t find any documentation that states what the story is.
Thanks

The network protocol has not changed in a long time. The primary reason to use a new driver would be support for new encryption/ authentication algorithms. But version 13.02 is still fine. > configure: error: libpq library version >= 9.2 is required Do you have the libpq _development_ package installed?
