Hey Samy; re. could not find odbc.ini
This is reported by the ODBCConfig when it can not find the odbc.ini but it is usually looking for the User one (the one in your home dir) - so it goes on to create it and you should not get this message anymore. If you continue to get the message then it is more serious... perhaps you should verify the location of the system odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini (use find as root). re. unable to find component name This is probably because you have not specified the correct libraries for MyODBC support. The library names, for MyODBC (on my system) are; - /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc-2.50.39.so (driver) - /usr/local/lib/libodbcmyS.so (setup lib used by ODBCConfig) You can register Drivers and Data Source Names using (in prefered order); - ODBCConfig or gODBCConfig (graphical) - odbcinst (command-line) - text editor You want to avoid the text editor because only the other two methods are sure to modify the correct files besides - they help by prompting and validating etc. The unixODBC documentation talks about all of this stuff. Peter BTW: Sounds like you have installed the source and the RPM binaries - you may have multiple copies of this stuff on your machine because, by default, source installs will usually drop stuff in /usr/local while binary RPM installs often drop stuff in /usr.
