Hello
I wanna use ODBC with MySQL over Redhat 9 , So i was following the
"OpenOffice.org 1.0, ODBC, and MySQL 'How-to'"
@ http://pbs.linux.net.pl/ksiazki/OOoMySQL.pdf


As They stated , I should Add these Entries to
/etc/odbcinst.ini
Using The GUI utility ODBCconfig

But i didnt find

Driver = /usr/lib.libmyodbc.so
or
Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so

Instead i used :
Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc3.so
Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so.1

So My /etc/odbcinst.ini :

[MySQL]
Description = ODBC driver for MySQL
Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc3.so
Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so.1
FileUsage = 1
CPTimeout =
CPReuse =

And then There is /etc/odbc.ini

[IGSohba]
Description = IgSohba
Driver = MySQL
Server = localhost
Database = igsohba
Port = 3306
Socket =
Option =
Stmt =

* When i was adding from the GUI tool , the DB entry is a drop down menu , and there was test and mysql , but not my
DB i created which is igsohba , but i added it manually anyway .


it is also mentioned that to test this :

[root@localhost root]# isql IGSohba
Segmentation fault

So my questions are :
1) Are the libs i added in /etc/odbcinst.ini correct .

2) is there a missing package .

3) where did i go wrong ?

Thanks In advance .
good day

well, you sure it's can run on redhat9? some programs doesn't play nice with nptl and redhat9 uses glibc+nptl.
try strace on it and post the log.
(might be a bad config but i cant really help with that)
peace
