Please have a look at the unixodbc templates and scripts that I committed to
CVS yesterday in the samples directory.  They should help get you up and
running.  Let me know if you need more help after that.

Cheers,

as i said before, i correctly registered the odbc driver with the unixodbc.
of course, i looked for the location of libtdsodbc.so in my system.

Dear Cinar 
I persume you  have an entry like this 


[TDS] 
Description     = v0.52 with protocol v4.2 
Driver          = /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so 

this manual seems to be written sometime back before freeTDs 0.6 
from freetds 0.6 onwards the installtion directory has changed 
from /usr/local/freetds to /usr/local 
so the Driver entry now should be /usr/local/libtdsodbc.so 

HTH 
 abhi
