Unable to install pyodbc on Linux
On Ubuntu, you'll need to install unixodbc-dev:
sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev
Install pip by using this command:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
once that is installed, you should be able to install pyodbc successfully:
pip install pyodbc
I resolved my issue by following correct directions on pyodbc - Building wiki which states:
On Linux, pyodbc is typically built using the unixODBC headers, so you will need unixODBC and its headers installed. On a RedHat/CentOS/Fedora box, this means you would need to install unixODBC-devel:
yum install unixODBC-devel
