FreeBSD OS 4.8-stable StarOffice 6.0 Postgres-odbc 7.2.5 iodbc 3.0.5 Hello; I am back to using StarOffice 6.0 due to an inability to build any recent versions of OpenOffice. But that is not what this message is about. It is about trying to access a remote postgres database from StarOffice via ODBC. I installed /usr/ports/databases/postgres-odbc which in turn installed iodbc. After a half day of futzing around, I got a ~/.odbc.ini that worked at least with the libiodbc-3.0.5/samples/odbctest program. I can connect via odbc to the remote database. However, when I start soffice, go to Tools->Data Sources, select database type of "ODBC" and then try to browse, I get "Could not load the program library libodbc.so or it is corrupted". I have created symlinks to "/usr/local/lib/psqlodbc.so" called /usr/lib/libodbc.so and /usr/local/lib/libodbc.so. Neither seemed to work. Any suggestions? regards, fletcher
