FINALLY! SOME ACTUAL DETAILS WE CAN WORK WITH! > Not good enough. ;-) Why not? According to packages.debian.org, the libodbc.so file is in: File Packages /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [arm64] /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [armel] /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [armhf] /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [i386] /usr/lib/mips-linux-gnu/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [mips] /usr/lib/mips64el-linux-gnuabi64/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [mips64el] /usr/lib/mipsel-linux-gnu/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [mipsel] /usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [ppc64el] /usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [s390x] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libodbc.so unixodbc-dev [amd64] Assuming you're on amd64, the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ directory is already in the linker's search path, right?

Can you show us the linker command that you ran, and its error message?
