Hello. I have found a number of posts/threads on this
subject and remain unsuccessful to determine the
solution. In brief, my situation is:
1. Running FreeBSD 4.9 Stable in x86
2. Installed, and running, R 1.8.1
3. Installed, and running, postgreSQL 7.4.2
4. Installed, and running, unixODBC 2.2.8
5. Failed, repeatedly, to install RODBC. The
following is my error log:
tsunami# R CMD INSTALL RODBC
* Installing *source* package 'RODBC' ...
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 library containing SQLTables... no
configure: error: "no ODBC driver manager found"
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RODBC'
** Removing '/usr/local/lib/R/library/RODBC'
I have set up the DSN/databases using ODBCConfig,
viewed/confirmed through DataManager and have even
used isql to further confirm that all is set up
correctly. I have read, numerous times, the README
within RODBC. Unfortunately, I am out of ideas.
Therefore, I am asking for ideas of others.
Also, I found, and employed, the results from a
previous post,
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2001-October/014693.html,
and reset my LIBS and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to those
suggested by the author. Again, no joy.
So, any thoughts, with successful ones perhaps
resulting in an FAQ/how-to, would be most appreciated.
(Also, please let me know what more info you may need
to help and I will gladly provide it.)
