TDS 7.0 will not currently work from a bigendian machine (such as
sparc). you'll need to use TDS 4.2. You can just export LD_LIBRARY_PATH if
you can not add the freetds lib dir to the ld.so.conf file.  The other
thing is, unless you are porting dblib code from Windows, don't use the
--enable-msdblib option as most tools written on unix use Sybase
semantics.

BTW, I am working on getting TDS 7.0 working on bigendian but it may be a
few weeks.
