Description chris 2003-05-27 09:29:32 UTC 
Please see Issue 10789 for the same problem which was encountered with libsane.

Usually Linux distros do not include libodbc.so in their library package and
programs are expected to load the library based on its major name, libodbc.so.1.
 libodbc.so is only installed as part of the development package for this
library.  This allows several library versions to coexist and is common practice
for shared libraries.

Is it actually necessary to load the development libarary name on some
platforms?  If so I guess we need a fallback mechanism to look for both names.

The names in question are:

connectivity/source/drivers/odbc/OFunctions.cxx:        _rPath =
::rtl::OUString::createFromAscii("libodbc.so");
dbaccess/source/ui/dlg/odbcconfig.cxx:#define ODBC_LIBRARY      "libodbc.so"
dbaccess/source/ui/dlg/odbcconfig.cxx:#define ODBC_UI_LIBRARY   "libodbcinst.so"

Steps to reproduce:

 - Create a new document
 - Click Tools->Data Sources
 - Set Database type = ODBC
 - Click on Data source URL '...' button

Error popup text: Could not load the program library libodbc.so or it
is corrupted.  The ODBC data source selection is not available.

Setting taget to 1.1RC
