How do I use an odbcinst.ini or odbc.ini file that's not located in /etc?

You don't need to be root to install the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge client. However, certain parts of the unixODBC Driver Manager installation are not usually possible unless you're root. If unixODBC is built with the sysconfdir configuration option set to /etc, the odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini files must be located in /etc. You can tell unixODBC to look elsewhere for these files by setting and exporting the ODBCSYSINI environment variable. Point ODBCSYSINI to another directory you have write access to and create the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files there instead. For example:

cd $HOME
mkdir etc
cd etc
echo "[ODBC-ODBC Bridge]" > odbcinst.ini
echo "Description = Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge" >> odbcinst.ini
echo "Driver = $HOME/easysoft/oob/client/libesoobclient.so" >> odbcinst.ini
echo "Setup = $HOME/oob/client/libesoobsetup.so >> odbcinst.ini
echo "FileUsage = 1" >> odbcinst.ini
> odbc.ini
ODBCSYSINI=$HOME/etc
export ODBCSYSINI
