Problem Installing RODBC under RedHat 7.3
Hello: Using Redhat 7.3 and
version
platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 1 minor 6.1 year 2002 month 11 day 01 language R I am trying to install the RODBC package. Upon using
install.packages("RODBC")
I get the following:
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for library containing SQLTables... no
configure: error: "no ODBC driver manager found"
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RODBC'
Delete downloaded files (y/N)? y
Warning message:
Installation of package RODBC had non-zero exit status in:
install.packages("RODBC")
Earlier I retrieved an rpm file called unixODBC-2.1.1-1.i386.rpm
and I used
rpm -i unixODBC-2.1.1-1.i386.rpm
and received no message of any kind, error or otherwise.
What should I do next, Linux neophyte that I am?
maybe rpm -i unixODBC-devel-2.1.1-1.i386.rpm (although from rpmfind, it looks as though the RH73 versions are: unixODBC-devel-2.2.0-5.i386.rpm and unixODBC-2.2.0-5.i386.rpm) It seems to be an FAQ for RedHat and other RPM users that installing the base package only installs the runtime libraries, but to install R packages, you always also need the *-devel-*.rpm too. Check what: rpm -qa | grep <your_target> says - if there is no *-devel-* package, install it! Roger
Thanks in advance.
