Thread: [GENERAL] Can't build ODBC -- odbc_config not found

I just tried to build Postgres ODBC from source (psqlodbc-10.00.0000.tar.gz)

I type "./configure"

Then get this message:
configure: error: odbc_config not found (required for unixODBC build)

So it must be looking for a file called "odic_config"?  It's not 100%
clear what is needed.

Are you sure that you installed unixodbc? Normally an install of this
package, be it on Linux or macos should install this command as well.
You can enforce a path to it using ODBC_CONFIG when launching
./configure.

You need to install unixODBC package (or equivalent in your distro) for this
command.

You need to install unixODBC package (or equivalent in your distro) for this
command.

and on a RHEL style system, you probably also need unixODBC-devel  to compile the psqlodbc driver.
