odbctest might bot be built when unixODBC is built. You need QT and the configure for unixODBC needs to find QT. However, isql (in bin dir) is (to my knowledge) always built so if you have not got odbctest, use isql (and use the -v verbose option as the error is output if it does not work). Martin -- Martin J.
