Issue

https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/blob/master/setup.py#L240

in setup.py line 240 after the comment What is the proper way to detect iODBC, MyODBC, unixODBC, etc.? it should be settings['libraries'].append(':libodbc.so.2')

[v-makouz]

The standard way is to run odbcinst -j although if you have several unixODBC installations it may be inaccurate. In that case the ultimate way is to do an strace and see which lib is actually loaded.
