"R CMD check sos" with R 3.3.0 under Mac OS X 10.11.5 ends as follows:

 >* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
 >Package suggested but not available: ‘RODBC’
 >
 >The suggested packages are required for a complete check.
 >Checking can be attempted without them by setting the environment
 >variable _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_ to a false value.


Unfortunately, "install.packages('RODBC')" says it's only available in source form. When I attempt to install from sources, it fails as follows:


 >checking for sqlext.h... no
 >configure: error: "ODBC headers sql.h and sqlext.h not found"
 >ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RODBC’
>* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/RODBC’
 >Warning in install.packages :
 >  installation of package ‘RODBC’ had non-zero exit status


The CRAN checks for RODBC also failed for the same reason (https://cloud.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_RODBC.html).



I'm not sure how to set "the environment variable _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_ to a false value" on my Mac, and I'd rather not do it permanently. I tried various versions of "R CMD check _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=FALSE sos_1.3-9.tar.gz" and "R CMD check _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=0 sos_1.3-9.tar.gz", none of which worked. Somewhere I found a suggestion to try, "R CMD check --as-cran sos_1.3-9.tar.gz". That also failed for me.


       Suggestions?
       Thanks,
