Hi Joran,
If you want to proceed with building RODBC from source on Mavericks, at least
until a binary is available for the Mavericks release of R, you will need to go
to iodbc.org and download the sources to get the header files that are missing.
Since XCode was updated for Mavericks, the iodbc header files have not been
included in the XCode SDK tree.
Regards,
Marc
