Is there any way to get just the ODBC RPM to install with OUT
installing the whole DB? 

I have a strange situation:

StarOffice 5.2 (Linux) Running under FreeBSD Linux Emulation
PG running NATIVE.

I want the two to talk, using ODBC.

How do I make this happen?

rpm2cpio <pg_rpmfile.rpm> > pg_rpmfile.cpio
cpio -i < pg_rpmfile.cpio
tar xzvf pg_rpmfile.tgz

Sorry, i was just waking up when I wrote this... the idea is to
extract the rpm then just grab the required ODBC files.

best of luck,

I figured that out, now to get the ODBC stuff totally right on the LINUX 
side
of the box.

Do we work with unixODBC or the other one?
