Thank you Yaakov!
After installing libiodbc-devel, I was able to
install.packages('RODBC') without further difficulties (as you said).Is the cygwin version of libiodbc-devel able to connect to the user/system DSNs available under windows, or do I need to create new DSNs and install new drivers under cygwin? Most of the databases I would like to connect to (oracle/sql server databases) use Windows Authentication (NTLM) to grant access. Hopefully that kind of authentication will be still available in case I need to install new odbc drivers under cygwin. Please let me know if you recommend to redirect this question to a different mailing list.
