I've also found that on some win32 machines libpq.dll cannot be
loaded, and found that it's because of deps on visual c++ msvcrXXX.
dll's , so I've found somewhere mingw compiled libpq.dll and it works
fine.It's builded by postgresdac guys.

Historically, I've used ODBC on Win-32 and sometimes on unix. The
libpq.dll the comes with the ODBC drivers looks as though it's been
compiled with gcc running natively, and there are minimal dependencies.
So it's definitely worth "shopping around", /particularly/ if the
alternative is to use MS runtimes in a VM on top of Linux.
I may be missing something here, but what does the fact that Windows may
be running in a VM have to do with which compiler/runtime is used?
If anything, the Microsoft runtime is more likely to be installed on
Windows in any case...
If you're talking about running Windows Lazarus programs that use
libpq.dll etc under Wine, that could be a different story...
I wasn't thinking of the technical side, but rather of the time that MS
leaned heavily on somebody who was about to demonstrate using FoxPro
runtimes in an early VM on Linux to implement a multiuser database (they
sent at least one lawyer to the usergroup meeting). Now I accept that
it's probably difficult for MS to start dictating the terms under which
msvcrt may be used, but I can't help but feel that it's something which
is best avoided when alternatives exist.
