When listing the ODBC drivers in iODBC, the MySQL drivers don't have any version numbers next to them. If I click on them to configure, I get an error saying "General Installer Error".
I've tried reinstalling the drivers via the oracle mysql connector installer, but no luck. Any idea what could be wrong here?

A version of ##.## here indicates that iODBC couldn't fully load the driver to interrogate it about its version. Among other installation errors, this may mean the driver library (and/or a library on which it depends) has incorrect permissions set, or there may be some library incompatibility at some layer.
Further troubleshooting would require review of the ~/Library/ODBC/odbcinst.ini (User) and/or /Library/ODBC/odbcinst.ini (System) driver registration files; screenshots of the columns not visible here (note the horizontal scrollbar); output of otool -L against each of the driver libraries in question; and/or other information. Such troubleshooting is not appropriate for this site; I would recommend pursuing assistance through the driver provider.
Worth noting -- my employer maintains and supports iODBC, and offers alternative ODBC drivers for MySQL; you may want to take advantage of the free two-week trial.
