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 suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed 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.)
