npm install odbc error

[LuAnn Burkamper]

When trying to install odbc, the compile is failing due to standards.h file not found in gcc:

Do you have 5770SS1 Option 13 (System Openness Includes) installed?

[LuAnn Burkamper]

No. I can ask the client to install it. Are there any other licensed program dependencies?

[Kevin Adler]

I don’t think so. You need the PASE header files, which are in that separate option. Everything else should come from yum.

[Jesse G]

You will also need the unixODBC-devel RPM installed if you don’t have it already (which you probably have already because it’s documented on the odbc npm page, but noting just in case).

[LuAnn Burkamper]

Yes, we have everything documented on the odbc npm page. We’ll try the install again after opt 13 is loaded. Thank you Kevin and Jesse.

[LuAnn Burkamper]

After installing opt 13 we are getting farther but the compilation step is still failing, this time missing odbc.o.d.raw below? unixodbc and unixodbc-devel are installed (2.3.4-3), i access ODBC driver is installed, and ‘Development tools’ are installed. I haven’t looked on my test server to see where this file was found over there (no problems installing on the test server, this is my client’s prod server).

This was an issue with coreutils-gnu-8.25-3. Yum clean metadata followed by yum downgrade coreutils-gnu-8.25-2 solved the problem. This issue is now closed.
