The /usr/local/freetds path was the default path in FreeTDS 0.53.  In 
FreeTDS 0.60, the default path was changed to /usr/local.

Since you're using --prefix=/usr/local to compile FreeTDS with, when you 
configure PHP you need to use --with-sybase-ct=/usr/local .  In 
contrast, if you use --prefix=/usr/local/freetds when you compile 
FreeTDS, you have to use --with-sybase-ct=/usr/local/freetds .

--with-sybase in PHP uses the Db-Lib interface, whereas --with-sybase-ct 
uses the Ct-Lib interface.  Personally I've only used the Ct-Lib API.
