Agreed... right now, the R documentation points to a straightforward,
one-line way to download and install packages from the R command line,
If one attempts to install RODBC (via install.packages('RODBC'))
without having an ODBC driver installed, this error message results:
checking sqlext.h presence... no
checking for sqlext.h... no
configure: error: "ODBC headers sql.h and sqlext.h not found"
ERROR: configuration failed for package '
