You could try using --skip-broken I installed unixODBC to satisfy libodbc.so but it still showed the same message. Can you tell me what prerequisits have to be installed?
Update: It seems that there is something very wrong with the package, as rpm is simply lying about the dependencies.

Both 32 and 64 bit libs are in place, so something in the rpm is screwed.
tar.gz does not work either, as after de-compressing Spark into /usr/local/share and running Spark it prints:
$ ./Spark
ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/Spark/lib/windows: No such file or directory
It is looking for windows, but the folder is windows64.
Do you have a working Linux copy of Spark anywhere that I could download and use?
