I've raised this issue several times with no response. I think you have to build myodbc and unixodbc with shared libraries, at least to get them to work with 3rd party programs like Openoffice.org. I went through this several months ago with the CURRENT tree on SuSE 8.1 Linux, and had it working with Openoffice.org. I'm working on the same thing now on SuSE 8.2, and FreeBSD 4.8 with mysql4, but haven't gotten to testing it yet. Basically what I did was to remove the disable-shared from the unixodbc.spec and myodbc.spec files, then rebuilding them. I've just done some hacking on perl to add shared libraries so that postgresql will build properly with perl support. This required some tweaking on the postgresql.spec file to (a) enable plperl, and (b) fix the odbcinit in %post processing.
