i'm trying to run a windows-based application from my company in a Linux environment. it requires a mysql database to retrieve data. i am running PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008. the issue i am having is that it does not seem that any WINE applications are able to connection to UnixODBC. i have installed mysql, configured it, installed UnixODBC, configured it (and verified connection to mysql database with MyODBC Linux driver) and have installed WINE. i have done the instructions found here: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/wine-user/config-odbc as well as fiddled with the registry settings found here: http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/wine.html but it still does not work. thinking it might be an application issue, i installed SQLyog in WINE and it is not able to connect to the database either, which leads me to believe WINE isn't finding UnixODBC. any suggestions? -D
