You can simply do
$ sudo apt-get install r-cran-rodbc
As for the error:
| > install.packages("RODBC")
[...]
| configure: error: "ODBC headers sql.h and sqlext.h not found"
That is about as plain as it gets. You need these headers. There is also
README in the sources with more detail.
If you're in a hurry, why don't you
a) install the binary packafe and
b) learn about the CRAN repository for Ubuntu that has binaries of R 2.9.0
for you and
c) consider subscribing to the r-sig-debian list we have for Debian and
Ubuntu questions.
