OK, that means your libraries will be in /usr/local/freetds/lib and your
freetds.conf and odbc.ini (for FreeTDS, AIUI) will be in
/usr/local/freetds/etc. That is, you would describe any FreeTDS Data
Source Names in /usr/local/freetds/odbc.ini.

I *think* your odbc.ini has to be in PREFIX/etc. For sure, the FreeTDS
ODBC driver will look there. I guess your odbcinst.ini (?) will somehow
tell your DM where to find it.

libtdsodbc is provided by FreeTDS. libodbc is perhaps provided by the
driver manager?
