I resolved my issue by following correct directions on pyodbc - Building wiki which states   On Linux  pyodbc is typically built using the unixODBC headers  so you will need unixODBC and its headers installed  On a RedHat CentOS Fedora box  this means you would need to install unixODBC-devel  yum install unixODBC-devel

How about installing pyobdc from zip file  From How to connect to Microsoft Sql Server from Ubuntu using pyODBC   Download source vs apt-get The apt-get utility in Ubuntu does have a version of pyODBC   version 2 1 7   However  it is badly out-of-date  2 1 7 vs 3 0 6  and may not work well with the newer versions of unixODBC and freetds  This is especially important if you are trying to connect to later versions of Microsoft Sql Server  2008 onwards   It is recommended that you use the latest versions of unixODBC  freetds and pyODBC when working with the latest Microsoft Sql Server instead of relying on packages in apt-get

A easy way to install pyodbc is by using  conda   As conda automatically installs required dependencies including unixodbc   conda --ugrade all  optional   then  conda install pyodbc  it will install following packages   libgfortran-ng  7 2 0-hdf63c60 3              defaults     mkl             2018 0 3-1                    defaults     mkl fft         1 0 2-py36 0                  conda-forge     mkl random      1 0 1-py36 0                  conda-forge     numpy-base      1 14 5-py36hdbf6ddf 0         defaults     pyodbc          4 0 17-py36 0                 conda-forge     unixodbc        2 3 4-1                       conda-forge

On Ubuntu  you ll need to install unixodbc-dev   sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev   Install pip by using this command   sudo apt-get install python-pip   once that is installed  you should be able to install pyodbc successfully   pip install pyodbc

In my case  Amazon Linux AMI  none of the above worked  The following worked  idea from here     Find the path to the file cc1plus  For me it was in  usr libexec gcc x86 64-amazon-linux 4 8 5 cc1plus  For you it may vary a bit  Try ls -l  usr libexec gcc to find the proper directory name and go ahead  Find directories in your path  echo  PATH  for me it was  sbin  bin  usr sbin  usr bin  opt aws bin  Put a link to cc1plus in one of the directories in your PATH   sudo ln -s  PATH TO cc1plus  DIRinPATH  For example in my case  sudo ln -s  usr libexec gcc x86 64-amazon-linux 4 8 5 cc1plus   usr bin
