Re: [Openbts-discuss] Can't register MS on a fresh OpenBTS 5 install

[Thomas M. <tho...@gm...>]

Sorry for sending a message again, but finally it works. For those who have
a problem with libsqlite3odbc.so on 64bit distros, correct path is
*/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/* so you need to change the path in
/etc/odbcinst.ini. The file should look like this :

[SQLite3]
Description=SQLite3 ODBC Driver
Driver=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libsqlite3odbc.so
Setup=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libsqlite3odbc.so
Threading=2

Once again, thanks a lot for the precious help !

Regards,
Thomas
