What driver manager do you have installed? unixODBC or iODBC?
If it came with the system then you can do 

rpm -qf /usr/local/lib/libodbc.so

to see which package owns it.  You'll probably get a better answer asking
this question in the DBI list since it is more about DBD::ODBC rather than
FreeTDS.
