I also had problems compiling the old version (at sourceforge), but I think it was something in the CLI tools, which I didn't need for ODBC. I made a custom makefile to get the ODBC driver, but it never worked. Maybe I'll try again with the new version (though it's low priority for me, no need). There is a commercial OS X ODBC driver (Actual Tech) that I thought was based on mdbtools, but that can't be right since they don't distribute their source code. I could not get theirs to works, problem skipping bytes in blobs (which is where the coordinate data is stored), they could not fix it. ----- William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ The equator is so long, it could encircle the earth completely once. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
