:) I've been thinking the same thing. From the source of iodbc-2.12, it
looks like the location of .iodbc.ini is wired in. Check the misc.c source
file. This could be changed easily enough, but unfortunately this version
of the iodbc library doesn't seem to be compatible with what Openlink
provides. And they only provide binaries, not source. Perhaps we could
trick it into looking somewhere else by setting the HOME environment variable
before using odbc functions? Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions, as I'll
be reaching this point in a few more days.
