ODBC Socket datasource not available on Mac install of ColdFusion 8

Question

We are trying to download ColdFusion 8 on a Mac Intel Server
to connect to a FileMaker Pro 8 database. The datasources does not
include the ODBC Socket choice which is what I have to use to
connect to the database. Am I installing something wrong or what?
It does show up if I download it on a PC, but not on the Mac.

HELP!!

The odbc client/server app that ColdFusion 8 ( and mx6 & mx7) uses to make ODBC connections is a windows only application. Therefore ODBC socket is only available on windows. You will not find it on linux, unix or mac versions.

FileMaker 9 appears to supply both ODBC and JDBC drivers. Perhaps earlier versions do, too. Use a JDBC connection to connect to filemaker as described here.
