Naw, this is Linux :) But for anyone searching the archives, the "Data source name not found, and no default driver specified" means one of four things:
1. you don't have a DSN with the name you are using 2. you don't have a driver where the DSN expects to find it 3. on Windows, you are trying to use a File/User DSN instead of a System DSN. 4. on *nix - you haven't specified your ODBCINI environment variable like: putenv("ODBCINI=/path/to/odbc.ini"); (note LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ODBCINSTINI may have to be defined as well!)
