I would appreciate any help I can get in this regard. Thanks.
I don't have hands-on experience with AIX, but I am going to guess
that you have a 32 bit version of unixODBC installed and that is what
is being found on your system, raising the error. If you do have a 64
bit version installed, I believe that the path is /usr/lib64, rather
than /usr/lib. So you perhaps need to adjust the library paths for the
RODBC package configuration and/or if not yet installed, be sure to
install a 64 bit version of unixODBC.
Additional information is available in the RODBC package vignette,
which is available online:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RODBC/vignettes/RODBC.pdf
See Appendix A for Installation information.
BTW, for future reference, you might want to post to the R-sig-db list:
