I do have configured MyODBC-3.51/unixodbc-2.2.1 on a Mandrake 8.0 (recently updated) distrib. I think it should not be a problem to install it on 8.2
Start to install unixODBC: I managed to build unixODBC without the hard-to-compile GUI (the GUI requires too much libs for my taste...) I achieved this with --disable-gui option of configure make / make install should work well For MyODBC : To make configure work, you'll probably have to set options --with-mysql-libs=<path to libmysqlclient*> --with-mysql-includes=<path to mysql client includes> --with-unixODBC=<path to unixODBC directory> make / make install should work well Run-time conf : It was a bit difficult to configure odbc without the gui, but the following small conf works : ------------------- /etc/odbcinst.ini : ------------------- [MyODBC] Description = MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc3.so Setup = /usr/local/lib/libodbcmyS.so Threading = 3 FileUsage = 1 ------------- /etc/odbc.ini ------------- [ODBC Data Sources] name_of_your_source = a line to describe this source [name_of_your_source] Driver = MyODBC Description = a description again Server = localhost Port = 3306 User = login Password = pass Database = MYSQL_DATABASE Option = < see the manual, I don't remember ... > Socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock All of these libs compiled fine with gcc-3. I'm accessing the ODBC system through the C++ lib OTL, and it works very well. To use it, my ODBC connection string is simply : "DSN=name_of_my_source" Have fun !
