Thanks Martin and Tim you pointed me in the right direction and DBD::ODBC now works on my Mac OS X Leopard machine.
For anyone having trouble getting it to work, this is what I did. Rebuild DBI v1.604 - I did this with a cpan force install export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/iODBC/lib cd DBD-ODBC-1.16_1 perl Makefile.pl On my machine, this gave a series of warnings about duplicate copies of Driver.xst so I did an rm -rf on all Driver.xst locations warned about except /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBI/. make clean perl Makefile.pl (ignoring DBI_DSN etc environment variable warnings) make sudo make install -----Original Message----- From: Tim Bunce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Bunce Sent: 06 May 2008 21:55 To: Martin Evans Cc: dbi-users@perl.org Subject: Re: Unable to install DBD::ODBC on OSX Leopard 10.5.2 On Tue, May 06, 2008 at 12:36:39PM +0100, Martin Evans wrote: > Neil Beddoe wrote: >> Sorry.

The key point is that the driver must be recompiled *after DBI 1.604 is installed* in order for the driver to pick up this particular change. Tim. .
