Error: package 'RODBC' was built for universal-apple-darwin8.6.1
Hello, I did install R from the CRAN universal binary, but had installed RODBC from source. Perhaps there were other problems with my installation as well...? Anyhow, when I deleted and re-installed R again from the binary and started out with the RODBC binary everything worked just fine. Thanks, Randy

I recently installed RODBC (binary) on my G4 PowerBook, and I am not able to load the library (I thought I had it working at one point). I also tried installing from source, but I have other issues there... Any ideas? I did upgrade to 10.4.7 this morning, could that have something to do with it?

It seems that you have compiled R from sources as non-universal binary, so you're pretty much on your own, because that is not compatible with the CRAN binary of R.
library(RODBC) # source installation

Pretty much the same answer - try re-compiling R and RODBC (also don't forget to delete the previously installed binary package!). According to the log you're using fink which supplies its own libintl so my guess would be that it's one of the problems. It's not uncommon that things break in fink after OS updates, but that's just a wild guess, so you may want to update your fink as well (or don't use it for R - sometimes it causes more harm than good due to compiler issues). If you want to avoid having to compile everything yourself, my actual recommendation would be to use the CRAN binary to avoid problems like that, so you can use binary packages. Cheers, Simon
