Can't connect with ODBC on FreeBSD

HI,

I am having a real problem trying to use ODBC on FreeBSD. I have been
trying for several hours with no success. Having no success I tried it
on another server (just in case all the installed crap on the
development server was causing an issue). However this did not help. I
am hoping one of you may be able to shed some light for me.

This is what I have :-

Have a nice day.bash#


Everything was built fresh from the FreeBSD ports. And I have tried
numerous odbc.ini & odbcinst.ini file combinations, starting with the
default sample, and then trying all differing ones I could find in
examples and howto's on google.

As you can see listing the available DSN's comes up with a few odd
things (I can't say any of the examples I have seen on the web had this
kind of corruption in it, but I get this on both servers. A second ?
returns just the 1 correct entry in the list, so I guess this is some
form of initialization error). Using the PgSQL DSN reports no error but
just does not work.

Postgres is running with TCP support, and works from from other
machines find using psql and libpq applications. I have turned
connection logging on and no connection attempt is made.

After the connection attempt above this file was created
/tmp/psqlodbc_root70765.log :-

bash# cat /tmp/psqlodbc_root70765.log
conn=134582272, PGAPI_DriverConnect( in)='dsn=test', fDriverCompletion=1
DSN info: DSN='test',server='',port='',dbase='',user='',passwd=''

onlyread='',protocol='',showoid='',fakeoidindex='',showsystable=''
           conn_settings='',conn_encoding='OTHER'
           translation_dll='',translation_option=''

By adding Trace & Debug into the [PostgreSQL] section of the
odbcinst.ini file, and trying again a different file is created in
/tmp. This has an actual error it that may be of use in tracking this
issue :-

I hope I have included enough information above, if not please let me
know what else you would like to see.
