MyODBC 3.51.12 compile problem

[Steve Orton]

Hello listers,

RH       9.0
glibc    2.3
MyODBC   3.51.12
unixODBC 2.2.11
MySQL    5.0.18

  I seem to have a problem during linking of the myodbc driver.  There are many multiple
defines emitted from '/usr/lib/mysql/libz.a'  I noticed there are two references to that
library on the link line.  I don't know if it's a configure issue or libtool or what.  My
question is, what controls the inclusion of the libraries to link against and how can I
get rid of the extra library reference (by hand if necessary)?  I tried to track this
down in the Makefile with no success.  I also tried a couple different argument
combinations to 'configure' including just './configure' on the command-line with the
same error.  I also tried using the binary RPM, but it complains of no 'libc++.so.6'. 
I'm up to 'libc++.so.5'.  So a fresh compile seems to be my only option.  Any light that
can be shed on this frustrating problem would be most excellent.

Thanks for any help....steve---
