Missing libodbc.so.1

Asked by pburns

I have OpenOffice Suite on Ubuntu. Cannot connect using ODBC. Base reports missing libodbc.so.1

Searched all files and could not find the missing lib. I need to know where I can get it and how to install it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Also would like to install SQLite driver.

Thanks

you can use apt-file for this, takes a while but you know its gonna hit it:

sudo apt-get install apt-file; sudo apt-file update; sudo apt-file search libodbc.so.1

Should tell you what package it's in. You can then run:

sudo apt-get install <the package name its in>

and it will install it

The thread is old, but just posting this for others searching later; found libodbc.so.1 in the package unixodbc. This is for connecting to an odbc (Microsoft Access) database in openoffice.org.

Can you help with this problem?
