This problem is more to do with you operating system configuration. Look 
carefully at the output from ./configure, you will probably find you are 
missing something - just because it runs does not mean that it worked.

The likely reason 'make install' does not work is that it is not been 
created by ./configure.

If you don't understand the output in the terminal use the mouse to 
select the text and copy it using Ctrl-Shift-C and paste it into an 
email using Ctrl-V as a reply to this thread or send it directly to me.

If you are reasonably confident in using linux, if configure asks for a 
particular package, look in the synaptic or apt for it and install it. 
You may be missing a c-compiler like gcc or something else like the 
linux-header source files.

Keep repeating "./configur"e until no more errors are encountered then 
try "sudo make install". Once you can get the two to work then your ODBC 
driver should appear.
