These are the notes I took for an installation of linuxodbc on Debian;
they are a few years old because I came to the same conclusion as you
(see below) :
apt-get install linuxodbc
#install postgres driver
apt-get install odbc-postgresql
odbcinst -i -d -f /usr/share/psqlodbc/odbcinst.ini.template
#create data source
cat /usr/share/doc/odbc-postgresql/examples/odbc.ini.template >> /etc/odbc.ini
#edit pg_hba.conf
# All IPv4 connections from localhost
#host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 ident sameuser
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
#test connectivity with isql
isql 'odbcname' username

I'm not sure what 'INSTALL INTO ... statements' are, but are you aware
of the very convenient 'M-x sql-postgres' in emacs?
I got it to work with this in my .emacs file
(setq sql-user "yourusername")
(setq sql-database "yourdbname")
(setq sql-server "localhost")
(setq sql-postgres-options '("-Uyourusername" "-P" "pager=off"))
I use that and a mix of copy/paste/replace between emacs and a
spreadsheet to generate all the statements I need;
