ODBC is a MS-Windows protocol and by default is not available in UNIX.  Various vendors provide ODBC compatible drivers for UNIX. They are usually compatible with most ODBC features, but rarely 100%. To my knowledge, these are all software for purchase products. Last time I looked there were no free versions out there.

I would suggest you search the internet for "ODBC for HP-UX". You should get several vendor links that will lead you to a product to use.

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

I found drivers and the procedure to follow for the installation. I start doing installation, and was able to pass the first huddle  by executing the first commande ./configure --prefix="directory/path".

But after i tried for the second and third command i.e. make and make install it failed with the errors mentioned in the attached file for the refrence.

Please have a look towards the attached fine and advice.

Awaiting for the valuable advices from you all experts.

This is the wrong architecture.  What do these show:

uname -a

file ../DriverManager/.libs/libodbc.so

That's a Linux application that your trying to compile on HP-UX.  To do that you have to find all the supporting shared libraries and port them first. It's a long and involved process with no guarantee of success and definitely no support from anybody.  HP use to offer a Linux to HP-UX porting kit, but those are no longer offered.  Internet Express also use to include Linux development tools for HP-UX but those are also gone.  If this is for a production application you have or are trying to develop, I strongly suggest you look at the commercial products on the market. Their the only reasonably stable and supported options that I know of for ODBC on HP-UX.
