Microsoft ODBC driver conflict with libodbc.so.2 installing php-ldap

Question

I have the Microsoft ODBC driver installed under Centos working fine with UnixODBC 2.3.0 as instructed. I am trying to install php-ldap and it will upgrade my php which is fine, except it fails on a dependency which is:

libodbc.so.2()(64bit) is needed by php-odbc-5.4.18-1.el6.remi.x86_64

I remember having trouble with this file which I had to hotlink to libodbc.so.1 to get php-pdo working. Now for the upgrade in PHP it's looking for that file and I guess maybe I have the 32 bit installed instead of the 64 bit. I tried copying over the 2.3.1 version and using the standard 2.2.4 but nothing seems to work.

It lives in

/usr/lib64/libodbc.so.2

I feel like if I get the wrong driver in there, PHP-PDO/MS ODBC will stop working just so php-ldap can work. My current PHP version is 5.4.16 and I'd rather just get the php-ldap for that but all the links seem dead - I just want to install it via RPM. Right now I'm using the remi repo to get the latest PHP version and would like an upgrade path without the libodbc causing issues.

ldd on the file:

linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff25fce000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f5754ac9000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f57548ac000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f5754518000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f5754f41000)

Answer 1

What I did was manually install php_pdo by forcing the RPM's. It worked so I don't know what the issue really is... it's a difficult installation to perform with microsoft drivers && linux.

Answer 2

Look in /etc/odbcinst.ini the path to your driver needs to change For Example (FreeTDS)

[FreeTDS]
Description=FreeTDS v0.91
Driver=/usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so
