I am getting the error:
[RODBC] ERROR: state 01000, code 0, message [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'SQL Server' : file not found
2: In odbcDriverConnect("driver={SQL Server};server=*******;database=****;trusted_connection=true") :
ODBC connection failed
Can anyone provide detailed instructions on installing the driver for ODBC in order for it to work with RODBC?
Note: I am trying to connect to an MSSQL Server

Here at my job, we use Centos 5.8. When I need to connect to our MS-SQL servers, I use FreeTDS drivers. I talk a bit more about it here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10196098/1332389, including the packages and dependencies that I installed.
A sample connection string might look like this:
data_odbc
Server=dataserver1\\instancename(default: master);
Port=1433;
Database=database_01;
Uid=data_mgmt;
Pwd=placeholder")
We configured our odbcinst.ini file (in /etc/) to say:
# FreeTDS Drivers
# Manual setup, used for MS SQL
[FreeTDS]
Description = FreeTDS for MSSQL
# 32 bit
Driver = /usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/libtdsS.so
# 64 bit
Driver64 = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so
Setup64 = /usr/lib64/libtdsS.so
FileUsage = 1
I've had no issues since getting it set up. Hope this helps - I can try and answer if you have more questions.
