Please don&#8217;t use it for\u2026anything. Thanks!<\/h1>\n<p>Since my upgrade to Snow Leopard I&#8217;ve been fighting a few very particular issues in my development environment. It should be noted that I think nearly all regular consumers and a large percentage of developers will be satisfied with the development environment provided by Apple. However, some developers need more.<\/p>\n<p>While able to run in 64-bit, I was running <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.dev360.com\/2009\/01\/08\/running-apache-in-32-bit-mode-on-mac-os-x\/\">Apache in 32-bit mode<\/a> under my Leopard install. This is because the ODBC drivers I was running from Actual Technologies only supported 32-bit Apache. In Leopard land that was fine. Now that I&#8217;m in Snow Leopard and <a href=\"http:\/\/adam.yanalunas.com\/blog\/archives\/62\">everything else<\/a> is in 64-bit I thought my ODBC drivers ought be as well.<\/p>\n<p>My problem is that I had the 32-bit Actual Technologies drivers, compiled in the FreeTDS drivers for my MSSQL support when compiling PHP and then installed a 64-bit beta build from Actual Technologies. Somewhere between the Snow Leopard upgrade and all these other installs things have gone a bit wonky. Best bet is to clean out all ODBC drivers and start anew.<\/p>\n<p>Small hiccup: Actual Technologies does not provide an uninstaller. Well, not that you&#8217;d be able to find. I emailed their support and received a link to a script bundled up in a dmg. By request I&#8217;m not going to post a link to the script or the script itself and I think that&#8217;s fair. Looking at the script it is no more than a series of <code>rm -rf<\/code> commands that blindly erase whole directories. Even existing iODBC data and settings you may have from other products or drivers.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to run the uninstaller, recompile FreeTDS, rebuild PHP and see where that gets me. Hopefully not towards a fresh Snow Leopard install.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is quite old. Please don&#8217;t use it for\u2026anything. Thanks!
