Issues with WINE + ODBC

i'm trying to run a windows-based application from my company in a Linux environment. it requires a mysql database to retrieve data. i am running PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008. the issue i am having is that it does not seem that any WINE applications are able to connection to UnixODBC.

i have installed mysql, configured it, installed UnixODBC, configured it (and verified connection to mysql database with MyODBC Linux driver) and have installed WINE.

i have done the instructions found here:
http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs ... onfig-odbc

as well as fiddled with the registry settings found here:
http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/wine.html

but it still does not work. thinking it might be an application issue, i installed SQLyog in WINE and it is not able to connect to the database either, which leads me to believe WINE isn't finding UnixODBC.

any suggestions?

Is your OS 32-bit or 64-bit?

PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008 32-bit.

Well, I guess be sure that you're using Wine's builtin ODBC (i.e., have
not "overwritten" it by installing any Microsoft ODBC things under
Wine), and then perhaps you could make a debug trace by running with
WINEDEBUG=+odbc and pasting the output here, or something.
