Be of good cheer, Jay.  The end is nigh.  At least we know you're not
using out of date code anymore.  

(Of course, if someone *does* package sqsh for you, I'm sure we'll both be
happy.)

I doubt you were linking to that old version.  TDSDUMPCONFIG was added
after the 0.53 release. (I think you made that up about 0.56, right?)

I think sqsh is still not linked to what you think.  Note sqsh doesn't
only link to libtds, but to libct as well.  What shows "$ ldd `which
sqsh`"?  In fact, you can check the dates like  this:

$ ldd `which sqsh` |perl -ne'BEGIN{ print qq(ls -l );} s/^.+> //;
s/\(.+$/\\/; next if /sqsh/; print;' |sh

My sqsh will have a few more libraries than yours, because my confgure
used more switches, but libct and libtds should match.  

I'd rely on Steve.  If he says this worked for him, it's more likely to be
a local configuration error than a TDS problem.  Be sure to abide his
advice about versions.  

Meanwhile, let's see if we can get autoconf to behave. :)  That way, if
you really really have a problem, we can work on the current code.

Sounds like you're using a slightly old autoconf.  There was a heads-up
message about that from Nick the other day.  I'm using these:

$ autoconf --version; automake --version; libtool --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.54
