I have been trying to get IBM i Client Access ODBC driver working on
Ubuntu 64-bit 14.04 and I cannot get it to work. This is the message
that has me stuck:
"Can't open lib '/opt/ibm/iaccess/lib64/libcwbodbc.so' : file not found"
I figured out my problem. I needed to use unixodbc 2.3.1 or higher and
this is not the package Ubuntu uses by default. I figured it out thanks
to an article on iprodeveloper.com. The article focused on Red Hat
based distributions but had enough information that it clued me in on
the program. That article is here:

Earlier today I had seen a document about installing unixodbc 2.3.2 and
really didn't understand the significance until I saw the article on
iprodeveloper.com. Things start to click.
Here the process I used to get unixodbc 2.3.1.

By the way, the iprodeveloper.com article shows how to force install
using rpm. Using dpkg the command you need to run is
sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=libodbc1 ibm-iaccess.amd64.deb
(I renamed the package using WinSCP so it would be easier to type).
