Here's the situation:

I've installed Dag's latest freetds rpms (freetds-0.62.3-1.1.el3.rpm
and freetds-devel-0.62.3-1.1.el3.rpm, dated 2004 May 17) on Red Hat
--snip--

I found that the problem is that the freetds-devel header files are
installed to /usr/include/freetds/ instead of just /usr/include/

<sigh>

Why can't RH leave things as they are?

Good question. We provide a .spec file with include files in
/usr/include...

Just to clarify, these RPMs are not provided by Red Hat, but by Dag Wieers
(who packages a bunch of 3rd party stuff). For some reason his SPEC has:

%define _includedir %{_prefix}/include/freetds

<http://dag.wieers.com/packages/freetds/freetds.spec>

If the freetds project doesn't see any reason for /usr/include/freetds/,
it sounds like Dag is the one to ask about what's going on, especially since he lists freetds.org as the upstream provider.
