Hello, I am a newbie in dealing with UNIX and HP-UX. May I know how to solve this problem where the "unknown input file type" message appear when I try to install unixODBC onto my HP-UX 11.31 ia64?
Actually, I am trying to install MySQL Connector ODBC into the HP-UX server but it showed an error message.
This is the command that I used to install MySQL Connector ODBC:
#myodbc-installer -a -d -n "MySQL ODBC 5.1.8 Driver" -t "/z/install/mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.8-hpux11.31-ia64-64bit/lib/libmyodbc5.so"
And this is the error message that I got:
/usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libodbc.so.1'.
Killed
Then, I realized that I need to install unixODBC on the HP-UX in order for the MySQL Connector ODBC to work.
This is the command that I used to install unixODBC:
# ./configure
# make
which resulted in the error:
Making all in exe
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link cc -mt -o isql isql.o ../
DriverManager/libodbc.la ../extras/libodbcextraslc.la -lpthread
libtool: link: cc -mt -o .libs/isql isql.o ../DriverManager/.libs/libodbc.so ..
/extras/.libs/libodbcextraslc.a -lpthread -mt
ld: Unknown input file type: "../DriverManager/.libs/libodbc.so"
Fatal error.

The libodbc.so file is created in directory ../DriverManager/.libs/ after the # make command.
Can anyone help me on this issue? Do tell me if you need more information to better understand my problem. Thanks!
