Re: unixODBC distribution installs newer odbcpsql libs

Hi again,

I see a big problem here, if a sysadm first installs unixODBC, then
postgres-odbc, then update unixODBC, the symlink for libodbcpsql.so will
point to the latest version, i.e. version `2'. The postgresql has version
`0', and version `2' is older and less functional... This is very
confusing. Can we do anything about it? :(
