MyODBC, MacOSX 10.3.9 2006-06-12 - By Thurgood Alex
Back
Hi all,
I have downloaded and installed the myodbc3 driver for MacOSX onto my
Panther machine (10.3.9). First surprise, the MySQL graphical installer
doesn't seem to appear in the Applications folder, has it been dropped ?
Secondly, although I have manage to configure ODBCAdministrator, the
datasource is declared, and visible to the user, it is however
inaccessible, and I get an error message when trying to connect. I have
noticed that the readme says that an executable file should be installed
in /usr/bin/ as myodbc3i, when I start this command as sudo from a
terminal, I get the following error message :
/usr/lib/libltdl.3.dylib (No such file or directory)
and indeed the libtool library isn't installed.
The README provided with the MyODBC dmg package states that you don't
actually need anything else to get MyODBC working, not even the MySQL
client libraries, so what gives with the libtool dependencies ?
After trawling with Google, I found on a mysql list a suggestion that
one should install the XCode development package provided by Apple,
since that package provides the library in question. Here's the crunch,
my disks with the Mac machines are tiny, thw whole point is to access
data remotely and not have to store stuff locally, and that also means
not having space to install a development environment on every machine.
So what am I to do ? Is this problem not going to be fixed ? Is there no
solution other than that (some solution !!)
Thirdly, I notice that the installation hasn't provided a file called
libmyodbc3S.dylib, which is traditionally the shared library to which
function calls are made for setup of the connection to the mysql server.
Has this been dropped too, or is the MacOSX package deficient ?
The worst bit about all of this is that a binary package was previously
available (3.51.9 or 10 I think), that had all of these things in it,
but I don't seem to be able to find it anymore on the servers.
Any help most gratefully taken.
Alex
