Replacement xodbc.bundle file for Omnis Studio 4.x -------------------------------------------------- This bundle file replaces the xodbc.bundle present in your Omnis Studio package, i.e. in omnis.app/Contents/MacOS if (and only if) you wish to use the ODBC Administrator supplied with your current installation of Mac OS X. (The built-in ODBC Administrator is located in the Applications:Utilities folder by default). To install the file you should close Omnis, cmd-click on the omnis.app package and choose "Show Package Contents", then navigate into Contents:MacOS. After un-compressing the HQX file, copy the resulting xodbc.bundle package into this folder, choosing "Replace" when prompted whether you wish to replace the existing file. If you wish to keep your existing xodbc.bundle file to refer back to at a later date, it should be removed from the 'MacOS' folder before the new bundle is installed. Why two bundles? The xodbc.bundle contains the code that interfaces with the ODBC Administrator and needs to load before the ODBC DAM can be used. The xodbc.bundle supplied with Omnis Studio 4.1 was linked against a third party iODBC.framework library which is normally only present if you have previously installed Openlink's iODBC Administrator (www.openlinksw.com). Whilst it is possible to create a symbolic link to resolve the library to the default libiodbc.dylib library, the bundle provided here is linked directly against libiodbc.2.dylib- the ODBC Administrator library provided with Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4 systems. Inside your /usr/lib folder this file may or may not be symbolically linked to another file; e.g. libiodbc.dylib or libiodbc.x.dylib. If libiodbc.2.dylib is not present in your /usr/lib folder, you may still need to create a symbolic link to whichever library is present on your system before the xodbc.bundle will load, e.g. cd /usr/lib ln -s libiodbc.???.dylib libiodbc.2.dylib (replacing ??? as appropriate).
