try to install MyODBC-3.51.11-1-apple-darwin7.5.0-powerpc.pkg

Confirmed on my machine.  Installer fails to ask for user password (may be a security hole, since it is installing into various subdirectories of /usr).  Attempts to manually open the MYODBCConfig.app program in /Applications/Utilities result in crash on launch, every time.  Crash dump included:
