22.1.5.2 Installing MyODBC from a Binary Tarball Distribution

To install the driver from a tarball distribution ( .tar.gz file), download the latest version of the driver for your operating system and follow these steps:

shell> su root shell> gunzip MyODBC-3.51.01-i686-pc-linux.tar.gz shell> tar xvf MyODBC-3.51.01-i686-pc-linux.tar shell> cd MyODBC-3.51.01-i686-pc-linux

Read the installation instructions in the INSTALL-BINARY file and execute these commands.

shell> cp libmyodbc* /usr/local/lib shell> cp odbc.ini /usr/local/etc shell> export ODBCINI=/usr/local/etc/odbc.ini

Then proceed on to how to configure the DSN on unix to configure the DSN for MyODBC. For more information, refer to the INSTALL-BINARY file that comes with your distribution.
