Did you try putting 'echo $prefix' at the beginning of the odbc
configure.in
and rerunning autoconf on it? As I said previously this should spit out
the
prefix that is set before the rest of the odbc configure is run.
Other than the prefix being set prematurely
I can't think of any reason for this to fail. On the other hand given
that
your postgres directory is other than /usr/local/pgsql you must be
supplying
a --prefix on the Postgres configure command line right? If not please
explain how your getting your distribution into that directory.

Beyond this the only other thing is to check the odbc
Makefile.global.in.
Find the line that sets PSQLODBC and make sure it looks like this,
PSQLODBC=(at)prefix@

I don't recall sending out a Makefile.global.in that didn't have this
but maybe I made I did.

The only other thing I can think of is rather "drastic". Rather than
sending me all of v6.4 so I can try it myself just send me the 6.4
configure.in,Makefile.global.in and GNUmakefile.in so I can have
a look at them.

Well you can if you want to but I really would like to get this fixed
first, but you have a dead line so do what you think is best.
