Correct.

SapDB is looking for the odbc.ini in /usr/spool/sql/ini .
It's nessesary to create a few links, to make SapDB working correctly.
Do this:
cd /usr
if exists there a "spool" as directory, not as link, move the spool/sql to /var/spool
check the rest of "spool" to be emty!,
rmdir spool
cd /usr && ln -s /var/spool .
cd /var/spool/sql/ini
ln -s /etc/odbc.ini
Now it works.
Test it out like:
isql SysDSN user pass
Attention, you will have to use unixodbc-2.2.3 not a 2.2.4/2.2.5 Version, those are
broken
against SapDB!
You may get unixODBC-2.2.3.tar.gz from http://www.unixodbc.org
Configure/make install it so:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install
