Could it be that iodbc.h is getting installed twice by two different
makefiles in the distribution?
On my platform, once you've installed something with read-only
permission (and note the "-m 444" above), the local version of the
install script will not overwrite that file. So the second attempt
to install would fail, with exactly the above-displayed error.
Currently, I have to manually blow away /usr/local/pgsql/bin, .../lib,
and .../include before doing a fresh "make install". (I've been
intending to submit some kind of improvement to fix that, but it hasn't
yet got to the top of the to-do queue.)
