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.

maybe you don't have unixODBC on your machine. you can download it from:
www.unixodbc.org

or look in your distribution (as long as you use linux or *bsd)

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.
