Hi

I am having trouble compiling pyodbc 3.0.6 on Centos 5

Any ideas?

I am getting the same error, some invalid chars while the gcc c++ compiler is... compiling.

When I look at the files, all those weird chars do not exist, so I think it's somehow related to the gcc locale (not system locale because it's utf8) haven't found it tho

Hi
I was getting these same errors before I updated to Python 2.6.8. Maybe you could try that? I'm working on Centos, so had to specifically install a missing requirement 'python26-devel' as well.
Hope it helps!

I'm getting the following error installing on Centos 6.5

You need g++

yum install  'gcc-c++'

I'm pretty sure pyodbc requires python 2.7
