i have compiled and running freetds on an i686 plataform and its works
great.
php4 is compiled with the sybase option using freetds and im using it to
connect to an mssql 7 server to get some markets data.

the libs that install freetds in i686 are

ldconfig bring them up and all works great (im using now freetds instead
sybase 11.9.2 now)

well , i took freetds to alpha UP2000 servers (red hat 6.1 now) that im
installing now.

first , when i make the configure , its says that cannot recognize the
host . (ltconfig) , so i made ./configure --host=alpha --witf-tdsver=7.0,
the configure works , then i run the make , then make install.

when the install finishes , ive compiled php4 with the sybase option
pointing to freetds , and its compiles fine.
but , when i try to connect to the mssql server , it doesnt work , it says
me ..." A link with the sybase server could not be established "

so , ive been looking /usr/local/freetds/lib in the alpha and i found that
, many libraries/links that exists in the i686 , no exists in the alpha
if i make ldconfig -v (including the freetds lib path in ld.so.conf) ,
ldconfig cannot load any lib.


how can i fix it?


the lib dir in the alpha have the following files

libct.a libct.la
libsybdb.a libsybdb.la
libtds.a libtds.la
