Re: [Qgis-user] ArcGis mdb file
One problem occured on 64bit-systems (OpenSuse). The path to the mdb-library is hardcoded in gdal. So an option is to use a 32bit-system only for converting.

This is what I currently use but the problem is that it's not possible to convert at one step an mdb to a csv file for instance. It takes to export each time one of the tables contained in the mdb (at least I didn't find another way to export the data).

Re: [Qgis-user] ArcGis mdb file
On linux, it uses the mdbtools library, and accesses the MDB thru ODBC. while it works on Linux, I've had trouble getting it to work on OSX, and I'm STILL waiting for a bug fix on another ODBC Access driver :( So really, only OSX is out of luck for now.
