Thanks for the suggestion. I need to set this up for a student computing lab with ~ 60 machines (we're finally getting rid of our last PPC labs), but serendipitously VMWare recently made Fusion available for use at my University free of charge, and we have a site license for Vista and XP, so the incremental price for Windows is 0. Sounds promising.

Much obliged!


Greetings. I've a need to run Witango Dev Studio and App Server on Apple Intel hardware booting system 10.4.11. I gather the Development Studio can't talk to the Java VM on intel hardware because it (Dev Studio) runs in the Rosetta environment, so JDBC is out. But although I can see a MySQL dsn that ODBC Administrator claims works (via the MyODBC Test button), when I try to use that dsn from Dev Studio it fails with the msg

        Unable to connect to the data source ...
Verify that the data source is properly configured and that the database server is online

I've also been unable to connect to Sybase Anywhere 10.0.1 either, though there the error message informs me that libodbc.dylib can't be loaded, which doesn't surprise me as there is no file by that name on my machine. (Though I do wonder why, given that I'm doing this on a fresh system with Sybase newly installed, so I'd think all the necessary files would be present...)

Before I pour more time into this, I'd be grateful if someone could confirm for me that Witango Development Studio 5.5.08 *can* connect via ODBC to *something* when running on Intel hardware and System 10.4.11 (or failing that, 10.5), preferably to any of MySQL 5.0, Sybase Anywhere 10, or FileMaker 8/9.

The particular Intel hardware I'm developing on is a 3 GHz Mac Pro, though the student lab environment I'm targeting is / will be equipped with iMacs, and I'm using the lite version of Witango

Thanks.
