Hey there. I am having a rough time getting started with trying to use 
MDB with unixODBC. The OS is Slackware 64-bit, aka Slamd64.

If I use isql, it crashes when I do anything. Any help on diagnosing 
this would be highly appreciated.


$ isql -v CalvegEcoRegions

I have built mdbtools-0.6pre1 and specified --with-unixodbc=/usr/local

This created the following files under /usr/local/lib. Note that the 
filenames are a bit unusual in that they don't contain .so Is that expected?

    libmdb -> libmdb.0.0.0
    libmdb.0 -> libmdb.0.0.0
    libmdb.0.0.0
    libmdb.a
    libmdb.la
    libmdbodbc -> libmdbodbc.0.0.0
    libmdbodbc.0 -> libmdbodbc.0.0.0
    libmdbodbc.0.0.0
    libmdbodbc.a
    libmdbodbc.la
    libmdbsql -> libmdbsql.0.0.0
    libmdbsql.0 -> libmdbsql.0.0.0
    libmdbsql.0.0.0
    libmdbsql.a
    libmdbsql.la


My odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini are as follows:

[Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)]
Description = MDB Tools ODBC drivers
Driver     = /usr/local/lib/libmdbodbc.0.0.0
Setup      =
FileUsage  = 1
CPTimeout  =
CPReuse    =

[Regions]
Description = My first MDB
Driver      = Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)
Database    = /tmp/RegionData2010.mdb
Host        =
Port        =
User        =
Password    =
