I am compiling R 2.11.0 on a RHEL5.3 box using the following settings

I have compiled and installed unixODBC-2.3.0 (64-bit) in /usr/local
and can connect to and query the database using isql. When I try to
build RODBC, I get the following error:
checking for sqlext.h... yes
checking for library containing SQLTables... no
configure: error: "no ODBC driver manager found"
ERROR: configuration failed for package âRODBCâ
* removing â/usr/local/R-2.11.0/lib64/R/library/RODBCâ
The directory /usr/local/unixODBC-2.3.0/lib has the files libodbc.so
and libodbc.la, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH has
/usr/local/lib64:/usr/lib64:/usr/local/unixODBC-2.3.0/lib. Also,
there is no other unixODBC version on the box. I would appreciate
any help in this regard. Thanks.
This is completely standard configure stuff: use
.../RODBC/configure --help
to seee the options for telling a package where the dependent
libraries are. It is even the reference example in 'Writing R
Extensions'!
Does RHEL5 really not have a unixODBC (and uniODBC-devel) RPM? They
do make like easier for people who are out of their depth with
software installation.
