iODBC is not compatible with some KDE-Libs, so i think switch to Unix-ODBC or support both is a good idea!

Trying to execute this line in Kubuntu 12.04 as proposed by checkinstall.sh

checkinstall.sh wrote:This script try to detect if all developments packages are correctly installed. If you are using a Debian or Ubuntu like distribution, you can use the following line to install all the package at once (run as root):
# apt-get install gcc g++ libc6-dev libsdl1.2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgnomeprint2.2-dev libiodbc2-dev libgnome2-dev libxine-dev libgnomeprintui2.2-dev libxxf86vm-dev

will produce error messages already reported by Sartic in this board's Linux subforum and in the Kubuntu forums.

Trying to install libiodbc2-dev in Kubuntu 12.04 with

sudo apt-get install iodbc libiodbc2 libiodbc2-dev

will remove most of your KDE packages and will DESTROY your Kubuntu installation: you won't be able to restart your system and have to do a complete reinstall!

So please add a remark in the checkinstall.sh script and in the README file that libiodbc2-dev should NEVER be installed in KDE based distributions derived from Ubuntu!
