1. ODBC/FreeBSD/LinuxEmulation/RPM?

   Larry Rosenman <ler@lerctr.org> — 2001-03-19T18:35:13Z

   Is there any way to get just the ODBC RPM to install with OUT
   installing the whole DB? 
   
   I have a strange situation:
   
   StarOffice 5.2 (Linux) Running under FreeBSD Linux Emulation
   PG running NATIVE.
   
   I want the two to talk, using ODBC.
   
   How do I make this happen?

   Sorry, i was just waking up when I wrote this... the idea is to
   extract the rpm then just grab the required ODBC files.
   
   best of luck,

   I figured that out, now to get the ODBC stuff totally right on the LINUX 
   side
   of the box.
   
   Do we work with unixODBC or the other one?
