Are you looking for "pg_config --configure"?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.1/static/app-pgconfig.html
I think pg_config reports the configure options that were in effect
when *it* was compiled, so if pg_config is from a different build
than the postmaster then the options pg_config reports might not
match those that the postmaster was built with (somebody please
correct me if I'm mistaken).
If that isn't the right one, then I'm not sure.
# pg_config --configure
--disable-rpath --enable-hba --enable-locale --enable-multibyte
--enable-syslog --with-CXX *--with-odbc* --with-perl --with-python
--with-readline --with-tcl --with-tk --with-x --datadir=/usr/share/pgsql
--docdir=/usr/share/doc --includedir=/usr/include/pgsql
--mandir=/usr/share/man --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/pgsql
I put asterisks around the "--with-odbc"
Here's a little background on what I've tried to get the postgres/ODBC
working. I went to the postgresql web site and found the section for
programming interfaces and clicked on the "odbc" link. It took me to a
page at GBorg for ODBC. I clicked on the link for "HOWTOs" then on the
link for PostgreSQL & ODBC on Redhat (since my current system is a
Mandrake system that uses red hat rpm's). I followed the instructions
and was able to compile the little test program. The problem I run into
is when I run the iodbc test program it gives me the following
output/errors:
$ iodbctest "DSN=tpeims;UID=vancel;PWD="
iODBC Demonstration program
This program shows an interactive SQL processor
Driver Manager: 03.52.0205.0204
1: SQLDriverConnect = Unknown connect option (Set) (205) SQLSTATE=S1009
Have a nice day.
Then when I run it interactively instead of command line, it does this:
$ iodbctest
iODBC Demonstration program
This program shows an interactive SQL processor
Driver Manager: 03.52.0205.0204
Enter ODBC connect string (? shows list): ?
DSN | Driver
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tpeims | PostgreSQL driver
Enter ODBC connect string (? shows list): tpeims
1: SQLDriverConnect = Unknown connect option (Set) (205) SQLSTATE=S1009
Have a nice day.
I've tried other configuration test programs, but none of them seem to
connect properly.
Is there some incompatibility with this version of iodbc and postgresql
7.1.2?
Also, if this needs to be taken to pgsql-odbc, let me know, but there
doesn't seem to be much activity on that list (I'm not subscribed to it yet)
