You are correct, there is a driver, but no setup library. The convention seems
to be that setup libraries end with a capital S (e.g. libodbcmyS.so,
libtdsS.so).
I have not seen anything like that from unixODBC or from mdbtools.
I have had problems with having it in the system DSN's (/etc/odbc.ini), so I
put the definitions in the user DSN's instead ($HOME/.odbc.ini). Try this if
you have not already.
To test, use unixODBC's isql tool. Run 'isq your_DSN' and try executing a
select statement ('select * from some_table').
