It's been a while, but I used to use ROBDC before we had dedicated drivers
for PostgreSQL.
It seemed like you did the hard part: getting ODBC connectivity from your
box. Once you have the basic "ini" files set, and isql works, RODBC should
follow.
I have been maintaining RODBC for Debian since 2003. For those builds, we
have switched between iODBC and unixodbc, so either should work. As you have
a working installation, maybe all it takes is to make sure the right header
files get picked up. But in any event, ROracle may be more efficient.
