Hi Friedrich,

I guess what could help people understand more about what the actual
differences might be is if you can exactly say under which Pharo
version and on which VM your ODBC connection had been working
before. Was it also on a 64 bit lInux? Even the same installation or
some other 64 bit machine (I know from hard and painful experience
that two Linux boxes can look very similar but still be completely
different, just because a single link is missing)?
No it was exactly this machine. But I updated Pharo to 2.0 and it may be
that I updated some libraries on this Box also. But sorry, I can not tell
really. I guess nobody really keeps track on the working machine on what
you install when. You need it and then you fetch it.

That's the way we all do it, right?
So are you saying ODBC in Pharo 1.x still works on that very same machine? Does ldd for the old VM yield the same kind of output? If so, it should be possible to limit the search to the 2.0 VM and Image and ignore the surroundings. That would sure be of great help.
So I am afraid you've now entered a stage in which you need to
gradually change things (and keep track of them) and try different
VMs, Images and libraries up until you find a combination that works.
Or some bright soul who knows it all ;-)
Well yes that might be necessary. Unfortunatly I know the same code runs
fine on Windows and so it probabl has to do with the used/provided odbc
libraries. I was just wondering if anyone else uses this
combination. But AFAIKT it seems ODBC is not "really" used with Pharo.
Hmm, I have no idea to be honest. I am not even using Pharo much.
I somehow mistrust ODBC on Linux per se, but that is based on experiences from around 2005, so a very uninformed opinion rather than based on (current) facts.
