OT REVISED - after trying to install the 64 bit version Filepro install Aborted because libfpodbc.so.2 ==> NOT FOUND and not on the computer at all

[Fairlight]

If you ever want to find out what provides a file, issue:

yum provides "*/filename"

In this case:

yum provides "*/libodbc.so.2"

Might want to pipe it through a pager, as sometimes the lists can get long.
