[GRASSLIST:1881] Re: mysql,pg drivers for 5.7

[David Orme]

Are you using the binary version provided for Mac OS X by Markus 
Neteler? I've downloaded the same thing and it works fine (Thanks, 
Markus) but has the same limited set of drivers (dbf, shp) - I've been 
assuming that the binary was built without postgres, mysql and odbc 
support in order to reduce the set of dependencies and make the binary 
more portable. If this isn't the case, I'd like to work out how to get 
pgsql and odbc too but I suspect I need to configure and build my own 
copy if I want a postgresql and ODBC support.
