From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040825 Camino/0.8.1 Description of problem: /usr/lib64/psqlodbc.so seems to crash when invoked. Using unixODBCs native (but seriously outdated) pgsql driver works using the same config files (odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini) I'm running on amd64 and a quick search around returned the following: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/bugs/bugupdate.php?809 Apperently this is something that has to do with 64bit cleanliness and its been fixed since version 07.05.0001. ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/versions/snapshots/src/psqlodbc-07.05.0001.tar.gz Ofcourse, I tried it myself already and indeed, using 07.05.0001 alllows you to actually use psqlodbc.so ;-) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postgresql-odbc-7.3-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup /etc/odbcinst.ini to use psqlodbc.so 2. run "isql MyDSN auser foopass" Actual Results: Segmentation Fault Expected Results: You should see an interactive isql shell Additional info:
Since 07.05.0001 isn't a stable release but just a snapshot, I'm hesitant to adopt it in toto. But I've extracted the 64-bit fixes from it and built a postgresql-odbc-7.3-9 that seems to fix the problem --- leastwise it can connect and do simple queries on x86_64. I'm still unclear on the procedure for pushing out errata in past Fedora releases :-( but will try to make that happen soon.
Is this package in updates-testing yet? Else I can't install it to test for you. Else, if you can, mail me the srpm so I can test for you without the need to get it into updates-testing? Greets, Rubin.
Fix is pushed out for FC2 and FC3 --- sorry about the delay. Leaving bug open since I still need to make errata for RHEL3 and RHEL4.
Fix is queued for RHEL4 U1.
