Hi Diego,
Thanks for posting your advice! I now almost have ODBC working on my Mac.
I did see one typo in your instructions -
> 1 from a terminal create an odbc.framework directory.
> (sudo mkdir /System/Library/Frameworks/odbc.framework)
should I think say "libiodbc.framework", as that is the name used later.
(The same is true for step 2.)
> 2 symlink the iodbc library into the newly created directory
> ln -s /usr/lib/libiodbc.dylib \
> /System/Library/Frameworks/odbc.framework/libiodbc
I am still getting an error - maybe you have seen something like it. I have
installed FreeTDS, to connect to an MS SQL Server, and have configured iODBC
to use it. The connection works with iODBC's 'odbctest' program.
When I try to use my DSN from Squeak, I always get an ODBCError with no
detailed error message, at initial connection time. Have you had this
happen? What are some possible sources of trouble I could look for?
I think it is finding the library, as it gave me a different message when it
could not.
Thanks much,
Ben Schroeder
