Reported by n...@merket.org, Sep 30, 2010
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I built pyodbc using the zipped source and instructions from Google Code.
2. I try to use pyodbc.connect() to create a new connection.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get a new connection object. Instead I get the error:
pyodbc.Error: ('00000', '[00000] [iODBC][Driver Manager]dlopen({SQL Server}, 6): image not found (0) (SQLDriverConnectW)')

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
pyodbc 2.1.8
Python 2.6.1
Microsoft SQL Server 2008
Mac OS/X 10.6.4

Please provide any additional information below.
I have tried all of the driver strings for MS SQL Server listed in the Wiki. Is there something I'm missing here?

You'll need an ODBC driver for SQL Server. If you don't have such a driver (and if you don't know whether you have, you probably don't), you'll probably want to get FreeTDS. Check out this post:
