(the dependencies, that is.)

The nameing and namespace confusion between the variaous
RPM based distributions will never be solved, as there is
not central package nameig authority whcih _must_ be
obeyed. Let's see what they were built from:

   rpm -qip libmyodbc1-3.51.11-2mdk* MyODBC-3.51.11-2mdk*

against the binary packages will indicate in on the right hand
column. then the source RPM's may be located, and possibly
rebuilt locally, along with (hopefully) easily determined
'BuildRequires'
