I'm facing the same problem (up to collecting_of_driver_information_faild) and 
haven't solved it yet. Using postgres and unixODBC on linux. Connecting via the 
GUI works. Using the postgres driver bundled with unixODBC (I also tried the 
driver from http://pgfoundry.org/projects/psqlodbc/, but it didn't work at 
all).

If somebody, or even the original author now has a solution... You know where 
to post :)


For completenes's sake, I'll mention the native driver from 
http://www.erlang-consulting.com/aboutus/opensource.html does work, but 
seriously lack features :(
