Installation requirements

The driver is LSB 4.1 compliant and is tested on RHEL 5.1, 6.0 and ubuntu 11.4.

A standard Linux installation is required for the driver. If you want the applications to use the

unixODBC driver manager, then download and install unixODBC-2.2.14 or later, except, unixODBC

release 2.3.0. For installing unixODBC, see the unixODBC website: http://www.unixodbc.org.

To install the driver, perform the following steps:

1. Download the driver from NonStop system to the Linux workstation in binary mode (You can

use FTP utility for downloading). The driver is packaged as a tar file in the Software Update

Tape (SUT) and is available on the NonStop system when DSM/SCM is used to install the

SUT. The file name is LODBCTAR, and is located in the volume, $SYSTEM.ZMXODBC.

2. Log in to the Linux workstation as a root user.

3. Go to your download directory, and enter the following command to extract the files:
