MyODBC connection problems on a Mac

MyODBC connection problems on a Mac

Hi

I'm having no luck getting MyODBC to work on a Mac. I downloaded the  
installer here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html

Followed the DSN setup instructions here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/
refman/4.1/en/dsn-on-unix.html

Verified that my paths variables were set up correctly by running  
"set" from the terminal.

Wrote a small PHP script that calls odbc_connect:

$db_connection   = odbc_connect('myodbc', 'ktozier', 'parkerdog')
            or die('Could not connect: ' . odbc_error());

And keep getting the error: "Could not connect:IM002"

I Googled that error which was explained here: http://
www.easysoft.com/support/kb/kb00073.html

"IM002 - DSN or TargetDSN not found. The DSN specified in the  
connection string could not be found by the OOB client in the  
odbc.ini file."

Made sure the path defined in the odbc.ini file points to the myodbc  
driver (it does)

And that's where it stands now. Completely stuck.

Anyone have any insights into what else I should try?

Thanks

Ken

Here's the odbc.ini file:

[ODBC Data Sources]
myodbc = MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver

[myodbc]
Driver   = /usr/lib/libmyodbc3.dylib
SERVER   = localhost
PORT     =
USER     = <user name>
Password = <user password>
Database = <database>
OPTION   = 3
SOCKET   =

[ODBC]
TraceAutoStop = 0
TraceFile     =
TraceLibrary  =


Here's the contents of the odbcinst.ini file:

[ODBC Drivers]
MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver = Installed

[MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver]
Driver = /usr/lib/libmyodbc3.dylib
