how to install unixodbc on linux

I am trying to install unixodbc on linux (clean install of ubuntu 20), but the directions here are not working for me. When I get the step to ./configure , I get an error saying "configure: error: odbc_config not found (required for unixODBC build)".
Given that this is a popular package and the instructions on the main website don't work, I'm wondering if someone in that community could help me install it?
I tried installing it directly from a .deb file which appeared to work with 0 exit status, but I am still getting an error when I try to run odbc_config, which is how they say to verify the installation. And which unixodbc returns nothing.
Any help installing this package on linux would be greatly appreciated!
Note: On mac, brew install unixodbc works just fine. But I am running into problems when using the compiled binaries from that installation on a linux machine -- it is giving me a mysterious file not found error when I try to reference it, even though it is there, so I believe I need to compile it on linux in order to get it to work.
EDIT: I tried installing from source, but then I got a different error: libpq library version = 9.2 is required. Is there any way to install this package on ubuntu without having to set all kinds of special flags?
EDIT2: I was able to get the installation process to complete after installing libpq-dev.

How to install libmysql under Cygwin?

I am trying to build db-mysql extension for NodeJS under Cygwin. The problem is, that it requires libmysql development libraries and include files. I have no idea how to install (and where to get) this stuff to work with Cygwin. Under Ubuntu i would write something like this:
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
But this is not possible under Cygwin. Also there is no available libmysql package when I run Cygwin's setup.exe. Does anybody know how to solve this isue?
I have installed wamp under Windows which includes MySQL database. I would like to use databases from that installation under Cygwin, is that possible?
Thanks
It's available from Cygwin Ports, a large repository of additional Cygwin packages that can be installed through Cygwin's setup.exe.
