Problem installing PB 4.61 on Xubuntu
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2012 5:58 pm
Hi everyone,
After upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to Xubuntu 12.04 LTS my installation of PB stopped working (couldn't compile), and so I tried installing PB 4.61.
Unfortunately, it cannot meet the dependencies. I think libiodbc2-dev is the troublemaker.
According to some post I've found on the Net, Ubuntu now uses unixodbc-dev instead of libiodbc2-dev. The problem is that if I want to install libiodbc2-dev in Synaptic, it wants to remove dozens of very essential looking packages so I'm pretty sure it would shred my installation into pieces.
Is there a way to get PB 4.61 running on Xubuntu 12.04?
Edit: Forgot to say, it's the 64 bit version.
