In a project, I was asked to create a database link between Oracle to
PostGreSQL. I thought that I can use Oracle’s Heterogeneous Services.
Oracle Database is running on Sparc Server (Solaris 10), so I downloaded
the free ODBC packages from unixODBC project. They already provide a binary
package for Solaris but it says it will remove any non pkgmgr content in
“/usr/local/bin” directory. So I decided to download the source codes and
build it manually.

Here are the commands to build unixODBC:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/unixODBC
make
make install

Then I try to install psqlodbc-9.02.0100 driver with the following command,
I get this:

configure: error: unixODBC library "odbcinst" not found

I am doing something wrong. But I could not figure it out. Any help will be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
