My bad at saying informix, I meant sybase.

Chris I tried that and it looks like it want's unixODBC-devel which I'm
having problems retrieving from Red Hat. I think I'm having issues with
RHN.


[x@x freetds]# rpmbuild -tb freetds-0.82.tar.gz
error: Failed build dependencies:
unixODBC-devel >= 2.0.0 is needed by freetds-0.82-1.i386

[x@x freetds]# rpm -qa|grep -i odbc
unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1
mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-2.2


The crisis has passed all the data is available via an html page which
I screen scraped to get it into an insertable format for mysql, but it'd
be nice to be able to do direct db queries as we have a large sqlserver
base here.

Thanks for everyone's time/suggestions. Still would be interested in
anyone who is successful with this.
