Ok. The -q -d options should have given you a list of supported databases. As it choked you now know your unixODBC-2.2.12,mdbtools-0.6pre1 install is broken. Probably because it is pre-release. Obviously you need to get this reinstalled and working. Probably best to go with a known stable release FWIW.

There is a tutorial here which details why you are getting the error message you are (it is probably not the "right" error message due to a 32 char limit).

Good luck

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
