I just did this yesterday. you do not have an ODBC driver ( as it says in the log). you need to (as root) use apt-get install unixodbc and apt-get install unixodbc-dev. The unixodbc package alone will not work, you need to install unixodbc-dev (development),
Hope this helps. I have a question for you since you are running debian. does control-c cotrol-c kill the data editor when it is envoked. Please let me know, it is so frustrating to kill it by mouse everytime I need to look at a dataframe. What debian are you using, I am using debian testing. pleae run this experiment for me ans let me knwo what happens. edit(as.data.frame(matrix(0, ncol=7, nrow=10))) and then try to kill it by issuing control-c control-c . In mine you have to finish the job by clicking on the kill symbol in the data editor itself.
