newbie - segmentation fault with unix odbc

Hello friends,
I am a newbie to databases. I am trying to start a postgres connection using unix odbc on a Slackware 10 and a AMD opteron machine, and a 64 bit gcc compiler and 64 bit kernel. I am using

psqlodbc-08.02.0002
and
unixODBC-2.2.11

Whenever I try to connect to the database server, I get a segmentation fault. I give the command:-
isql mydb -v
Segmentation fault

I tried to figure out whats wrong but no use.
Kindly help me as I dont know what to do.





With warm regards.

Hello

The first good step could be the trace file from unixODBC.
You may see the Trece* options in /etc/odbc.ini
The second step could be enabling mylog output of psqlodbc.
Add Debug = 1 line to /etc/odbc.ini for the right datasource.

BTW are you sure that you have compiled unixODBC and psqlodbc the right
way (both 64-bit)? Maybe you could try compile it both 32-bit and test
if the problem isn't there.

Re: newbie - segmentation fault with unix odbc

Hi Ludec,
I realized the fault. The latest psqlodbc doesnot work with unixodbc (latest) on 64 bit arch perhaps. I got an older version of psqlodbc and it worked. Both are compiled 64-bit on a 64-bit machine. Thanks for your reply. It was a booster for me. And now I know how to enable tracing for it. Thanks a lot.
