Re^2: Installing DBD::ODBC

Hi Corion,

Thanks for your input. It seems to be looking for odbc_config or iodbc_config, neither of which seem to exist anywhere on the machine (after doing a search), I've also searched google and the unixODBC website for clues about where it put ODBCHOME, but I can't find any clues. The unixODBC installation was perfect (from sudo apt-get install unixodbc).

So I feel a bit lost. Maybe I should try pipes rather than ODBC, what do you use?

Regards

Steve

How do you know that the unixODBC installation went well when one of the programs that are supposed to get installed with unixODBC is missing? If you are really sure you know where unixODBC got installed to, maybe just set `$ENV{ODBCHOME}` to it. Personally, I use DBD::ODBC on Windows, where it works as advertised, because Windows comes with the ODBC manager.	[reply] [d/l]

Personally, I use DBD::ODBC on Windows Hmmm, ease of use apart, doesn't that go against the raison d'etre of ODBC i.e. a platform, database & language neutral database interface - wouldn't we (in the widest sense possible) all benefit from exposing the interface to as many combinations of OS, DB & language as is possible. A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]
