I just like to inform the list that mdbtools (library and odbc.c) work (compile and install) in Mac OS X now. I have not tested yet. Posted these 2 issues in github and it is all fixed. https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools/issues/18 https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools/issues/17 For linux users, please test and report any issues.
