Description:
In the "make" phase of installation, libtool bombs with the message:

libtool: link: `-Lyes/lib' cannot specify a relative directory
make: *** [libmyodbc3.la] Error 1

This is using the distribution that comes with unixODBC.

How to repeat:
Get the unixODBC tarball, unzip/ untar, configure, make, and make install unixODBC.

Navigate to unixodbc-2.2.6/Drivers/MySQL directory.

Run the following commands, AFTER you fix the last bug I reported, #1311, "Install- undefined variable in options.c":

./configure --with-unixodbc
make

Suggested fix:
On line 97 of the Makefile, remove the reference to -Lyes/lib.

Hi !!

Please ALWAYS use the driver source distribution from www.mysql.com instead of from unixODBC, which may not be up2date or accurate.

Thanks
