Does anybody know if PB for Linux can access the MySQL Database engine? If so, how can I go about doing this? If NOT, how can I go about doing this?

Yes it can. You have to install the ODBC package for linux and then configure it as you do on Windows.

When I try to use the InitDatabase() function I get the following error while compiling...
Code: Select all
******************************************
PureBasic Linux x86 v3.50
******************************************
Loading external modules...
Starting compilation...
Line 11: InitDatabase() is not a function, an array, or a linked list
Since I can't even get this far, I'm thinking that none of the other database functions are working either?
Will they be available in the next Linux version of PB?

Strange, I tested this one without problems. I will take a look. About the new version, it will be released at the same time than the Windows version and will support 2D drawing for screen/sprites the 3D engine (full) and more..

I got the same error message and don't really know which ODBC-Package I have to install. I'm using Debian Woody and installed "libmyodbc" and "unixodbc". I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?
