Yes, its RHE without subscription. Hard time!
On a different box, I did the other way and installed unixODBC64 using the
above links. There were some libtdl* dependencies and installed package
libtool-ltdl-1.5.22-7.el5_4.x86_64.rpm for that.
unixODBC is done with the above method.

Can you list steps for psqlODBC?

Should i get packages in this way
