Re: Expected location of iodbc libraries

[Ed Mansky]

Because I couldn't find a binary package for the Mac OSX platform. 
Building iodbc from source allowed me to
avoid using the Apple supplied odbc libraries in /usr/lib. The Apple 
ODBC libraries on 10.2.x have known
problems.

I went with iODBC, instead of unixODBC, because when I bring up OO 
and try to connect to the MySQL database, the
error message I get when trying to "Organize" my Datasources, is that 
libiodbcinst.dylib cannot be found.

Where should the symlink libiodbcinst.dylib be installed for the OO 
binary to find it on Mac OSX 10.2.x ?

The README for MyODBC seems to indicated that the odbc.ini and 
odbcinst.ini should be in ~Library/ODBC on the Mac.
Other READMEs (in libiodbc, etc.) seem to suggust that these files 
are normally found in /usr/etc or /usr/local/etc.

What's the correct path for the ini files on the Mac ?
