Re: Need some help

Hi,

I may not have the answer immediately but I think more details like on which
OS you are trying to install and whether you are using the binary or are
building it yourself, would be helpful for others to give a solution.

I'll hazard a guess and assume you're using some sort
of Linux :} ...which distro are you using, how are you
installing postgres?

Cheers,

Re: Need some help

Indeed, perhaps no one in the mailing list can look over your shoulder
to get the much needed additional details as Chandra has pointed out.

My guess is that you may be trying a binary install, perhaps rpm. The
install the complains that it cannot find libraries that it requires
installed on the system, in your case it seems to be ODBC related
libraries. If you prefer to proceed with installation from from binary
you may want to google for RPM libodbc.so (if your system makes use of
RPM packages).

Re: Need some help

Probably your installation misses those odbc drivers. you may either use the
yum package manager (refer
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=12749&amp;forum=44&amp;post_id=42050#forumpost42050)
or download the drivers from
