Okay, I read the background info you posted. Thanks, that made it a lot clearer. Then I ran the command you suggested to find odbcinst.ini. It worked, see:

rebecca-witmers-macbook-pro-15:jtds-1.2.2-dist rwitmer$ iodbc-config --odbcinstini
/Library/ODBC/odbcinst.ini

The trouble is, when I go there, nothing is there. Really:

rebecca-witmers-macbook-pro-15:jtds-1.2.2-dist rwitmer$ cd /Library/ODBC/
-bash: cd: /Library/ODBC/: No such file or directory

So I tried doing a find on the entire hard drive. Lots of Permission denied messages on directories I"m assuming you have to sudo to search, but no odbcinst.ini. Doing a search in the Mac Finder GUI yields same results.

I did find this though:

rebecca-witmers-macbook-pro-15:Shared rwitmer$ find /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11/bin -name iodbc-config
/usr/bin/iodbc-config

And this:

rebecca-witmers-macbook-pro-15:Shared rwitmer$ ls /usr/bin/ | grep odbc
iodbc-config
iodbctest
iodbctestw

And this:

rebecca-witmers-macbook-pro-15:include rwitmer$ ls /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/include | grep iodbcinst
iodbcinst.h

But that's in the directory for OSX 10.4. My machine has 10.5. What's the deal here? Do I have this driver manager thing or what? I am confused.
