Hi Karl, I just came across your post and am having the same issue (Ubuntu 8.04 Server). I managed to build the latest versions of unixODBC and FreeTDS and install them to /usr/local/lib. When I run python and try to import pyodbc I get the following error:
administra...@maverick:~/pyodbc-2.1.4$ python -c "import pyodbc" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: libodbc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory administra...@maverick:~/pyodbc-2.1.4$ So obviously pyodbc cannot find the libs I just built - but I cannot figure out how to specify their location when building pyodbc. Did you have this issue? Any help is welcome!
