Where can I find libodbc?

[jannetta]

Hi Folks

I am trying to run an application on Puppy Linux but it requires unixODBC. The error I get on the command line is that libodbc.so.1 cannot be found. Is this library perhaps available for Puppy?

Thanks for any help

[bugman]

a google search for 'libodbc puppy' finds similar questions, unanswered

here's the libodbc site, perhaps it's not too difficult to compile?

libodbcxx.sourceforge.net/

Or you could try the already compiled .rpm here. It contains libodbc.so.1.0.0, and the symlink, libodbc.so.1.

Hmmm .....

To get libodbc running, two more stuffs are needed: 1) odbc manager and 2) odbc driver ...

I've just grabbed the sources but couldn't make a binary set right now ... Maybe someone can beat me to it ...

These pets work for dpup-476, so they should be ok for Puppy v 4.1+.

Let us know if you need anything else...

Hi gposil

Thanks a million for those pets. I installed them and the application is running. BTW the application is Open System Architect 4.0.0 (ERD software).

Thank you to everybody else for your contributions too.

Bye for now
