[Help-glpk] unixODBC

[Xypron]

Hello Andrew,

currently the configure script only allows to use package iODBC to 
connect to databases via ODBC. A common alternative package is unixODBC. 
For using unixODBC no changes in the coding are necessary. Only library 
libodbc.so has to be specified instead of libiodbc.so.

To install unixODBC on Debian (or Ubuntu) use command
sudo apt-get install unixodbc

The development package (with the header files like sql.h) is available via:
sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev

Debian Etch and Lenny (and Ubuntu Gutsy) deliver the unixODBC library as 
libodbc.so.1. The following missing symbolic link can be created manually:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libodbc.so.1 /usr/lib/libodbc.so

cf.
http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/OOoMySQL.pdf

I would appreciate if you could provide the name of the ODBC library as 
a parameter in the configure script (e.g. as parameter to --enable-odbc).

Best regards

Xypron
