Red Hat 6.4 can't install filePro 5.7.3 - missing libodbc.so.1

    I'm setting up a brand new 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise version 6.4 server.  The Red Hat installation went smoothly, but one of the 32-bit apps I'm trying to install (filePro version 5.7.3) says I need to install the "unix ODBC libraries". 

     I went to the Red Had Software updates and typed in "libodbc" and it popped up with a few RPM's that I could download, including some "ODBC Development" modules.  

     I installed what I thought were some of the most relevant RPMs, including a couple that said "ODBC Development on them).  All the RPMs said "x86_64".  I rebooted and then tried reinstalling filepro, but it still balked at the installation. 

     I was told to look for a library named "/usr/lib/libodbc.so.1", and if it is not there, then I don't have the correct Unix ODBC libraries installed.  All of the ODBC RPM's I installed seemed to have put their libraries into /usr/lib64, so I presume I'm only loading 64-bit libODBC libraries.  

     Any suggestions?

Thanks!
