25.1.5.1. Installing MyODBC from an RPM Distribution

To install or upgrade MyODBC from an RPM distribution on Linux, simply download the RPM distribution of the latest version of MyODBC and follow the instructions below. Use su root to become root, then install the RPM file.

If you are installing for the first time: 

shell> su root
shell> rpm -ivh MyODBC-3.51.01.i386-1.rpm

If the driver already exists, upgrade like this: 

shell> su root
shell> rpm -Uvh MyODBC-3.51.01.i386-1.rpm

If there is any dependancy error for MySQL client library, libmysqlclient, simply ignore it by supplying the --nodeps option, and then make sure the MySQL client shared library is in the path or set through LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

This installs the driver libraries and related documents to /usr/local/lib and /usr/share/doc/MyODBC respectively. Now proceed onto Section 25.1.9.3, « Configuration d'un DSN MyODBC sous Unix ».

To uninstall the driver, become root and execute an rpm command: 

shell> su root
shell> rpm -e MyODBC
