[freetds] Newbie Install Questions

I have been unable to configure and install successfully. The config.log 
file contains  numerous 'failed program' entries - I don't know whether 
that is normal or not. When I try testing with tsql the only response I 
get is 'segmentation fault'.  I have read the documentation several 
times, but evidently I am missing something.  I am running redhat 7.0.  
This is what I have done:
1.   ./configure --with-tdsver=4.2 (I have also tried 7.0)
2.    make
3.   make install (as root)
4.   created an entry in freetds.conf for a spcified sql server using ip 
address and port 1443
5.   export $SYBASE=/usr/local
6.  ./tsql -H ip address  -p 1443 -U my username -P

I have also tried ./tsql
I have also tried ./tsql -S server name  -U my username -P

The  result in each instance is core dump.

I also tried configuring with prefix=/usr/local/freetds , but returned 
to the default configuration to eliminate the need to set  LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I have also tried it on another server runing redhat 7.3, but the result 
is the same.

Thank you for any suggestions you may be able to provide!

Duncan
