Install prereq software

We need a bit of software installed to get up and running. Grab:

yum install unixODBC 

iSeries Access for linux

This package contains the basics for connecting to an AS/400 via an 5250 emulator + unixODBC drivers and sql utils.


We need this to create/use our unixODBC. This is under IBM license, but otherwise a free download. You do need to register on their site tho. Grab from here:
