Dear Cinar 
 Now that sounds better , does it not , ok 
now to get freeTDS working 
first download the latest build
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/freetds-0.60.tgz
or http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/freetds-0.60-1.i386.rpm

I guess you have done this unpack the distribution 
now go to the directory where you have unpacked 

$ gunzip -c freetds-0.60.tgz 
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds
$ make
$ su root
        Password: 
        $ make install 
if you have reached here then you are half way home

all you now have to do is toopen the freetds.conf file 
and add an entry to the server 
this should be in your installtion directory 
 yourdirectory/etc 
the file is self explanatory 

now go to the bin directory 
you would  seea tsql utility , 
say ./tsql and you should get a command line like prompt 
happy querying
