How is that relevant to DEBIAN?

That's all noise as far as Debian is concerned.

It looks like you've made some false assumptions about this library.
Apparently it has different linker options and library filenames on
different platforms, and moreover, different *means of learning those
names*.

Sounds like a real bitch to work with.  Oh right, it's ODBC, so it's
always going to be horrible, isn't it.

Good luck!
