Hi,

   I posted about this in here before:

Here's the whole post:

Ok, I tried configuring it and keep getting the same warning about not
having ODBC (if possible, I'd like it to use PostgreSQL.)

I found the below link and simply forged ahead, figuring that I could
just set up a connection to a database client later on.

I did make and was greeted with this mess:

Since I installed a Java compiler (the configure script didn't mention
that something was lacking), I figured that jinterface would compile
without a hitch.

Any possible solutions to this? I have PostgreSQL installed, how can I
get the Erlang VM to use one of its clients?
