Brian (or anyone else for that matter),

I tried to do exactly this, as I think I am suffering from the same
problem, but it failed to make.  This is the "current" obtained from
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/freetds-current.tgz on Nov.
12.
Can you give me any advice?

Here's how it went:
% ./configure --with-tdsver=7.0  --prefix=/usr/local/freetds (optionally
--enable-msdblib
....blah....blah....
% make
