[odb-users] Error - Using ODB with Eclipse CDT

In the introduction the guide says:

"Here we assume that the ODB compiler is installed in /opt/odb and that 
 the ODB runtime libraries (libodb and libodb-<db>, where <db> stands 
 for the database system that you are using) were built and installed 
 in /opt/odb/include (header files) and /opt/odb/lib (library files)."

If you installed things in a different location, then you will need to
adjust the paths accordingly (and here I assume that you are proficient
enough in GNU/Linux development to know what "accordingly" means).

Then you should be able to use just odb instead of /opt/odb/bin/odb in 
step #3.

The /usr/lib/odb/i686-linux-gnu/includes/ is an internal ODB compiler
directory and you should not specify it explicitly.

Again, /usr/lib/odb/i686-linux-gnu/lib is an internal ODB compiler
directory that should not be used in your own builds.

Since you installed the runtime libraries in /usr/local, you should be
able to skip the first part of step #4 ("Includes" and "Library Paths"
settings). The compiler will search in this directory by default.
