Hi, 
I am using an ARM linux platform to connect to a remote MSSQL server. I have 
used the unixODBC driver manager and freeTDS driver. I have compiled the 
packages for ARM linux target and the binaries works fine for the target. But 
I am not able to connect to the remote host using the generated binaries. 


The following are my odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files .. 
/etc/odbc.ini[TEST_MS]Driver=FreeTDSDescription=Server=192.168.1.82\SQLEXPRESS

Database=db_mssqlPort=1433User=xyzPassword=xyz
/etc/odbcinst.ini[FreeTDS]Description             = v0.63 with protocol v8.0

Driver                      =  /lib/libtdsodbc.soUsageCount            = 1
The binaries from unixodbc and TDS are put into /home/sky folder of the 
target. The libraries are put into /lib. 

Once I try to execute the command  ./odbcinst -i -d -f /etc/odbcinst.ini  I 
get the error "odbcinst: SQLInstallDriverEx failed with Unable to find 
component name." 
Is there any specific path to which I should install the libraries and 
binaries ? 


Once I try to execute the following ./osql -S 192.168.1.82\SQLEXPRESS -U xyz 
-P xyz , I get the error osql: error: no "isql" command found.  Is unixODBC 
installed? 


All the binaries (including isql and osql) are present in /home/sky. 
How can I move forward and install the package on the target. ? Is there any 
way to test if the packages are installed properly ?  

Is there anything missing in the .ini files. ? Please do help.
