I hope someone can tell me the meaning of error I received trying to install RODBC and how I can get around the problem.
n.b. The error originally occurred then I was installing Rcmdr. I then tried to install RODBC separately and received the same error.

John, As root: yum install unixODBC unixODBC-devel You need the unixODBC and the devel RPMs, the latter of which provides the requisite header files. HTH, Marc Schwartz
