unixODBC 2.2.0.  I was previously trying with 2.2.8, but the latest RPM 
for Redhat is 2.2.0, and I'm supposed to stick with RPM installations if 
possible though I'd personally rather not.

Rather a handy trick, that version seems quite a bit more verbose.  From 
the output, I was able to easily determine I had mistyped the database 
name, and a much more clear error was shown.  I fixed it in 
odbcinst.ini, and now isql works fine!

I don't know what was wrong on the 2.2.8 installation before, but I 
still have it around, so perhaps I'll fiddle with it later for curiosity 
sake.

Thanks for the assistance, and my apologies for such confusion and 
complaint over a dumb typo on my part.
