You appear to be missing the required programming development tools (C compiler,
make, etc.) which are needed to install RODBC on Linux. The RODBC source package
contains C code, which requires local compilation during installation.
You have not told us which Linux distribution you are using and the details of
how to go about installing these other components are dependent upon knowing
that.
If you have access to a local Linux expert/SysAdmin, I would recommend seeking
them out to assist you with this.
