This sentence from the OP:
[quote]
I just tried to compile my program and got an error about it.
[/quote]
shows what I'm doing (it doesn't reference unixODBC at all, does it?)
and the issue I'm facing.
Yes, it is about unixODBC that Debian neglects to install completely
and therefore people who want to build and run their software
on have problems with.
BTW, PostgreSQL configuration script and mySQL configuration script
are both installed and work fine. My program depends on all 3 and only unixODBC
fails.
Thank you.
