Thanks.
It looks simple: apparently you have a 64-bit R and a 32-bit ODBC library (and that's not an R issue, and we don't have enough to go on -- the posting guide does ask for 'at a minimum' information for good reasons).
Surely /opt/freeware/lib64 should precede (and hence have priority over) /opt/freeware/lib? We don't know what linker you built gcc with -- some are clever enough to select libraries of the right architecture on e.g. Solaris, but I believe we've seen this before on (not so recent) versions of AIX.
