Paulo,
My advice is to forgo RPMs and build the darn thing by hand.
It's really quite easy - check out the Unix install instructions here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php
I don't have specific UnixODBC docs, but iODBC should enable you to use any
ODBC driver with it (iODBC is a driver manager, and makes PHP ODBC-aware, so
you just pass in an ODBCINI envrionment variable pointing to your odbc.ini
DSN file like:
putenv("ODBCINI=path/to/odbc.ini");
Your odbc.ini will contain your DSNs You will prob also want to pass in env
variables for LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ODBCINSTINI.
A HOWTO on iODBC is here: http://www.iodbc.org/odbc-phpHOWTO.html
Let me know if you run into trouble.
Best regards,
Andrew
