To install or upgrade Connector/ODBC from an RPM distribution on
Linux, simply download the RPM distribution of the latest
version of Connector/ODBC and follow the instructions below. Use
su root to become root,
then install the RPM file.
If you are installing for the first time:
$> su root
$> rpm -ivh mysql-connector-odbc-9.5.0.i686.rpm
If the driver exists, upgrade it like this:
$> su root
$> rpm -Uvh mysql-connector-odbc-9.5.0.i686.rpm
If there is any dependency error for MySQL client library,
libmysqlclient, simply ignore it by
supplying the --nodeps option, and then make
sure the MySQL client shared library is in the path or set
through LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
This installs the driver libraries and related documents to
/usr/local/lib and
/usr/share/doc/MyODBC, respectively. See
Section 5.5, “Configuring a Connector/ODBC DSN on Unix” for
the post-installation configuration steps.
To uninstall the driver,
become root and execute an
rpm command:
$> su root
$> rpm -e mysql-connector-odbc
