Hello. We run StarOffice 5.2 on FreeBSD platforms and want to connect by MyODBC to our MySQL server (also running on FreeBSD). Via Windows 2000 this is not a great deal, but the Linuxulation on FreeBSD drove me into many problems. To get connected to a MySQL server StarOffice needs MyODBC and MyODBC needs unixODBC/iODBC and unixODBC/iODBC needs several libs from MySQL to get compiled the correct way and over all, StarOffice 5.2 on FreeBSD needs a Linux-based ODBC. I tried to compile several parts by hand, due the fact almost all RPMs I could get need more recent Linux libraries and/or rpm 4 instead of rpm 3 and I can not find a precompiled MyODB package for the Linuxulator. Yesterday I tried to compile several parts from source and that worked fine, but I revealed a strange behaviour of the Linuxulator. I remember myself that changing current directory into /compat/linux makes 'uname' reporting Linux and not FreeBSD as the operating system and paths are relative to /compat/linux's base. That isn't any more the fact. The problem is, that I can not compile several programs from the MyODBC suite because config reports an error about a non existent ncurses or termcap lib. But they are both present in /lib (in Linuxulation). Well, having Linux binaries for StarOffice is not that important to ask here, but what's about the wrong uname output? if there is someone out here running StarOffice 5.2 on FBSD an getting connected successfuly to an MySQL Server, please help.
