Little snafu, installing freetds and then DBD::ODBC against freetds
wget ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/freetds-stable.tgz
cd freetds-0.63/
./configure --prefix=/opt/freetds
make
make install
wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JU/JURL/DBD-ODBC-1.13.tar.gz
tar xzf DBD-ODBC-1.13.tar.gz
cd DBD-ODBC-1.13
# just want to get it built before I fiddle with freetds's MSSQL DSNs
export SYBASE=/opt/freetds
export ODBCHOME=/opt/
export DBI_DSN=dbi:ODBC:JDBC
export DBI_USER=guest
export DBI_PASS=sybase

And re-read it if you have any problems.
Using DBI 1.50 (for perl 5.008007 on i686-linux) installed in

Hmm...I cannot find an ODBC driver manager that I recognize.
...And I know about these drivers:
Microsoft ODBC, adabas, easysoft, empress, esodbc, informix,
intersolve, iodbc, sapdb, solid, udbc, unixodbc
root [~/DBD-ODBC-1.13]#
Do I need to use DBD::OBDC-0.28 as per Example 6-4 at
http://freetds.org/userguide/perl.htm#PERLMODULES
I do have unixodbc installed and I saw a thread that seemed to indicate
DBD::ODBC + freetds + unixodbc could be used together, is that what i
need to do? That is, build DBD::ODBC against unixodbc instead of
freetds and use freetds's goods to connect() to MS SQL?
TIA!
