Hi Luís,
When I had this problem several years ago, I didn't find a better
solution than to compile Virtuoso from source (being careful to use the
same version as your server), install it onto a clean image, extract the
necessary library and config files used in local connections by the isql
client and then transplant them to the client instance.
Once the source package is installed on the temporary instance, you'll
find most of what you need referenced in the ODBC config files located
under /etc/ I think, check for variations on the name, iodbc, unixodbc
etc. You're going to want those config files and the libraries
mentioned in them, possibly the whole /lib/virtuoso directory or
wherever virtodbc.so is found. The config files will do double duty of
defining the connections and the libraries they use.
It's been a few years since I did this so I'm a bit hazy and you'll need
to hunt around for the right config files, it's probably going to be a
process of trial and error.
If your server was installed with the right options, you could also grab
them from there but it's arguably easier, if slower, to install onto a
clean instance with the right client options. It makes it easier to
know what the package added and changed under /etc and /lib, so as to
replicate those changes on your client instance, this also matters if
the server and client have different OSs.
An easier solution is to install Virtuoso on the client instance and
just disable the Virtuoso service, then edit the config files above with
the remote server details, that would probably work too but you'll have
an empty Virtuoso DB taking up a little disk space I guess. It's still
necessary to get the Virtuoso version right of course.
Good luck,
Quentin
