Description Francois Chenier 2006-01-29 11:11:10 UTC

The Text ODBC driver is the following package is broken (can connect but unable to query any SQL command)

unixODBC-2.2.11-2.i386.rpm (for SuSE 10.0)

because "yac.h" file in the distributed tarball does not match bison 2.0's 
numbering of symbols. FC4's mates gives me the hint here ...

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2005-September/msg00123.html

After a recompiling sources (& fixing some minors warnings with GCC4.0), all  works as it should. Please update RPM and/or fix your unixODBC tarball. Thanks.

After a further investigation, I'm not absolutely sure the problem is with bison because I have version 1.875 installed on my laptop. Presently to "fix" this problem I know I can either ...

1) Overwrite libodbctxt.so in /usr/lib/unixODBC directory with the one included in unixODBC-2.2.11-3.FC4.1.i386.rpm RPM file (see link above).

2) Or compile unixODBC package using Fedora sources (to avoid compromising stability of SuSE, it's what I've made).

Hi, thanks for the report. I've submitted a fix for the txt driver, which will 
appear in opensuse factory soon.
