Hi,
I have tried to install.packages("RODBC"), but it balks:
Installing source package `RODBC' ... creating cache ./config.cache checking for library containing SQLTables... no configure: error: no ODBC driver manager found ERROR: Configuration failed for package `RODBC'
What am I missing? What and where should "SQLTables" be? In another package? What should I tell my administrators to make an ODBC driver manager available to me?
The configure script is looking for symbol SQLTables in one of the following libs: odbc odbc32 iodbc E.g. on Debian you can install package libiodbc2-dev. See also file README in the RODBC sources.
If you have a choice, use unixODBC as suggested there, as it is more powerful and better-supported than iodbc. The address in the README is I think old: www.unixODBC.org is current.
