Problem Installing RODBC under RedHat 7.3
Sorry, but this is a question about the installation of unixODBC, not of RODBC. Several of us have test-installed RODBC on systems which do have unixODBC installed. That message indicates that the unixODBC libraries cannot be found. FWIW, the current version appears to be 2.2.3, and that comes with a program isql to test ODBC connections. That may help you debug this.

Warning message:

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?
Thanks in advance.
Tom
