I was afraid that might happen. :-(

I'm not the function that reads odbc.ini responds to TDSDUMPCONFIG. I'm
pretty sure there's no easy way to get unixODBC to tell you where it's
looking or how it resolves your DSN.

The script uses a heuristic to determine the directory name. What does
this say on your machine?

$ ISQL=$(command -v isql)
$ strings ${ISQL} | grep ^/ | grep -v elf
/usr/local/lib

Maybe with just a wee bit o' bit twiddling, we can fix it.
