Here's a copy of a post from the iHTML list. It may provide a clue for you:

~FINALLY! It works!
~
~Here's the short form: The binary copy of libmyodbc_mysql.so Jon sent me
~was corrupted during the transfer. However, I had no way to verify its
~operation.
~
~The longer form for those who are still having trouble:
~
~First Apache wouldn't work with iHTML. So I recompiled according to
~Inline's instructions, and used iHTML 2.18b3. That solved that. But now
~it wouldn't talk to MySQL. Since iODBC returns no helpful error
~information, I couldn't be sure where the problem was. iHTML worked, but
~wouldn't talk to MySQL. Possible suspects were Linux and MySQL access
~permissions, the configuration of my iodbc.ini file, and
~libmyodbc_mysql.so.
~
~I initially tried playing with all the other suspects. I exhausted
~everything including my patience, and turned to libmyodbc_mysql.so. I
~grabbed the source from tcx.se, and tried to compile it. I came to find
~that this isn't for the faint of heart -- unless you're familiar with
~MySQL's source installer configuration, it's really tough. I'm not.
~
~So I asked Jon about it, and he kindly sent me his binary of
~libmyodbc_mysql.so. However, it wasn't tar'd or zipped. This didn't occur
~to me as a potential problem until later.
~
~So I installed it, the MySQL connection still didn't work, and I just
~kept plugging away like a prison laborer. I revisited all the options,
~checked all the logs, and nothing worked. So I went back to
~libmyodbc_mysql.so as my suspect.
~
~I downloaded the source again, and waded through all the configs to make
~it compile. It could never seem to find a particular header library, I
~emailed the author, he didn't reply, and I was generally hopeless. I
~enlisted the help of a Unix expert friend, and was waiting for him to
~come by when...
~
~I was browsing Dejanews and found a thread in German on
~libmyodbc_mysql.so -- lucky I spent a couple of years there. This guy
~also had a problem compiling it, but listed a link to a good i386 binary:
~
~http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~horn/export/iodbc.tgz
~
~I downloaded it, found the shared object amongst the other stuff in the
~archive, popped it in, and VICTORY!
~
~So now I'm one of, what, two people using this combo? Smile

I feel so
~privileged.
