Dear Guru,

The issue happened  when I do below with 'Illegal instruction(coredump): 

>isql -v test_pg
Illegal instruction(coredump)

>odbcinst -j
unixODBC 2.3.9
DRIVERS............: /etc/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/odbc.ini
FILE DATA SOURCES..: /etc/ODBCDataSources
USER DATA SOURCES..: /etc/odbc.ini
SQLULEN Size.......: 8
SQLLEN Size........: 8
SQLSETPOSIROW Size.: 8
Illegal instruction(coredump)


My Questions: 
1. Does psqlodbc is not supported to  install or use with AIX 64bit server 
as remote connecting to other postgres server?
2. My download of psqlodbc is wrong?
3. Any clues my steps in-correct or any good way to install psqlodbc ? (I 
eventally need this driver to configure AIX oracle DBlink to read Postgres 
Data) 


Below are the setup step I did: 

I download psqlodbc-13.02.0000.tar.gz from 
https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/versions.old/src/psqlodbc-13.02.0000.tar.gz 


cd  psqlodbc-13.02.0000
chown -R root:system *

autoconfig -i

./configure ODBCVER=0x0351 CPPFLAGS="-DSQLCOLATTRIBUTE_SQLLEN" 
--with-libpq=/usr/local/pgsql --with-unixodbc=/opt/freeware/bin 
--disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr/local \
 --build=powerpc-ibm-aix --host=powerpc-ibm-aix CC="gcc -maix64" CXX="g++ 
-maix64"

...
checking for library containing SQLGetPrivateProfileString... -lodbcinst
checking for pthread_create in -lpthreads... yes
checking for PQsetSingleRowMode in -lpq... no
configure: error: libpq library version >= 9.2 is required  <==== [found 
no solution to fix error like this]


Thus, then try manual compile: 

# Build object files individually
for file in *.c; do
    if [ "$file" != "odbcapi30.c" ]; then
        gcc $CFLAGS -c -fPIC $file -o ${file%.c}.o
    fi
done
gcc $CFLAGS -DSQLColAttribute=my_SQLColAttribute -c -fPIC odbcapi30.c -o 
odbcapi30.o
gcc -maix64 -shared -o psqlodbc.so *.o $LDFLAGS $LIBS -Wl,-G -Wl,-brtl

>ls psqlodbc*
psqlodbc.c       psqlodbc.def     psqlodbc.dsp     psqlodbc.h psqlodbc.o   
 psqlodbc.rc      psqlodbc.reg     psqlodbc.sln     psqlodbc.so 
psqlodbc.vcproj  psqlodbca.def



My environment

I target to have psqlodbc installing to AIX7.2: 

>oslevel -s
7200-04-02-2028

>prtconf -c
CPU Type: 64-bit

>bootinfo -K
64

ODBC driver version 2.3.9 
PostgreSQL version 11.9

Due to AIX 7.2 available psqlodbc that I can find and trying the download 
psqlodbc-13.02.0000 download



Currently has unixodbc installed and OK to use. 




resulted coredump

Hello,

We don't have an AIX machine to test on.

I would try the latest version, you can get it
https://github.com/postgresql-interfaces/psqlodbc

I'd also post this there as there may be someone using AIX that can help
out.
