MyODBC crashing on Mac OS X

The driver and/or libmysqlclient crashes when I execute a select statement.
This happens whether I use iodbc (this comes installed with the OS) or go
directly through the driver. Inserts and updates are fine.

Because of installation problems with the binary distribution, and because I
was unsure about how to obtain a compatible libmysqlclient, I built the
libraries with the mysql-4.0.13 source and the MyODBC-3.51.06 source. I am
using gcc 3.1 which is what comes with OS 10.2.6.

I am connecting to an instance of mysql running on my Windows machine
(production 4.0 release).

Has there been much testing or use of the driver on OS X?

It seems like libmysqlclient should be linked into the driver to avoid one
more potential compatibility problem.

Extensis is evaluating supporting MySQL as a database option for our
customers for use with one of our products.

What problems do you have with our binary distributions ???

I must say that it is hard to make mistakes when building clients with
3.1, but it is still possible.

Can you run select_test.c from our client/ subdir in source tarball
and see if it works ???

RE: MyODBC crashing on Mac OS X

The select_test program returned 0, although I modified it to connect to the
remote database I was testing with. The mysql client that I built seems to
work okay also, so I don't think the problem is with the client library, but
with the ODBC driver.

Actually, I don't think there was a problem with the MyODBC driver
installation, except that the library wouldn't load because there was no
libmysqlclient library installed with it.

Brooks Brown
