I believe you need to install the 'ia32-libs' package, or at least
that's what it is called on Ubuntu 8.04. I imagine that it's the same 
on Debian Lenny, but I can't confirm.

Try 'apt-get install ia32-libs' on the command line, that should install
a number of 32bit libraries, including /usr/lib32/libodbc.so.1.0.0,
although I have to admit some surprise that wine is working at all
if this package isn't installed.

In fact a quick 'apt-cache show wine' output includes the following:
Depends: binfmt-support (>= 1.1.2), ia32-libs (>= 1.6)

So I would have thought that the correct 32bit odbc library would have
already been installed on your system.


Checking the wine_1.1.35~winehq1-1_amd64.deb package up on winehq, it
looks to me like it's built to use the ia32 libraries. Perhaps you
installed the wine_1.1.35~winehq1-1_i386.deb package on the amd64
system, and that doesn't know about the ia32-libs package, and thus that
was installed on your system by default?
