You cannot get an installer that just installs the ODBC driver for a database. The iodbc driver manager is installed in the /usr/lib directory and does not have a framework setup for it.
I believe I have a correction to this, you can go to openlink and download the iODBC SDK. This will install the iODBC manager from openlink without any drivers, is completely free, and there are no licensing restrictions. It can be difficult to find, but I believe they are required to provide this for free under the GPL with iODBC.org.
This is how I use primebase. I downloaded the SDK, provided it to primebase, and they modified there older ODBC unix drivers to work specifically and reliably with with the OL iODBC manager/framework. I have the manager with no OL drivers, just primebase.
Later, I was contacted by Openlink, and they gave me a free license to there 4.2 SQL drivers to evaluate and test, and I reported several bugs with blob retrieval that have since been fixed in v5.
IMHO, unless you are rolling in the dough, just use the free manager and find drivers that work with it, or if you are lucky enough, tell your dbms vendor to support it.
Or you could just get Primebase and get the drivers for free with your server license which I could help with. ;-)

OL's site has changed, I will locate the buried SDK and report back, I also have a copy saved, and I have permission to distribute on theradmac.com.
