[Gambas-user] missing something?

[Orven Llantos]

hi guys,

i've been quite for a while in posting help messages
since i've tried my very best in connecting gambas to
postgresql. to the point that i check out the source
code for me to know "what's going on" in linking the
program to postgresql.
prerequisites first. i've installed unix odbc on my
system was able to create a test dsn for postgre. and
it  was successful. i was able to connect. but the sad
thing is when i run gambas2 still the error was
"Cannot find driver for: postgresql." since gambas
searches for its drivers in a default location i've
copied the gambas2 folder (which contains .so's...
etc, usr/local/lib/gambas2) to the default folder
(/usr/lib) so that gambas can "see" it. but still i
see the same error message.
as a desperate attempt, i tried to examine the
different files responsible for the implementation of
gambas2<-->postgre communication. 'til i found
DB_GetDriver. i noticed the code

  strcpy(comp, "gb.db."); (1)
  strcat(comp, type); (2)

Q1: the question that was raised on my mind is what is
it looking; a folder or a .so file? because when (2)
is executed comp would contain "gb.db.postgresql" am i
right or am i missing something? and when i followed
the functions that were called i also noticed that
there was no operation to add a .so to comp to make it
"gb.db.postgresql.so" that is why Q1 was on my mind by
that time. after copying the .so's to /usr/lib, i
attempted to change (1) to 

strcpy(comp, "/usr/local/lib/gambas2/gb.db.");

what i did is that i specified the location. the
result? still i cannot connect..... question Q1
remains.
guys, i know that gambas has no warranty whatsoever.
but since gambas claimed to be able to connect to
postgresql and other databases. can you guys tell us
what to do in order to effectively link gambas to any
database that we like? also include some tricks that
we need to learn. please... please....

sincerely,
