Configuring DBD::ODBC ...

>>>     Remember to actually *READ* the README file!
        And re-read it if you have any problems.

Using DBI 1.48 (for perl 5.008004 on i686-linux) installed in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux/auto/DBI/

The DBD::ODBC module needs to link with an ODBC 'Driver Manager'.
(The Driver Manager, in turn, needs one or more database specific ODBC drivers.
The DBD::ODBC module does _not_ include any ODBC drivers!)

You need to indicate where your ODBC Driver Manager is installed.
You can do this ether by setting the ODBCHOME environment variable
or by runing 'perl Makefile.PL -o odbcdir'.

If you do not have an ODBC Driver Manager you can try building
the free iODBC Driver Manager in the iodbcsrc directory.
