The RODBC installation failed, with the following message ( 2 missing c header files ):

checking for sqlext.h... no
configure: error: "ODBC headers sql.h and sqlext.h not found"
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RODBC’
* removing ‘/home/hadoop/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15/RODBC’
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘RODBC’ had non-zero exit status

The downloaded source packages are in
    ‘/tmp/Rtmpbujdbq/downloaded_packages’

----------------------------------------------

The operating system is Ubuntu 12.10, and I was installing via RStudio standard intall menu option.

Is there a newer version of Rodbc which has this problem fixed?

Thanks

Jefe
