Shane, 

I didn't answer your question because I wouldn't know where to begin.
AFAICT, you've got Solaris, Oracle, MS SQL Server 6.5, and FreeTDS, with
some Humungous Oracle thingy complaining "Cannot connect to shareable"
library.   

Not to be unpleasant, I'm sure you have a job and all, but don't you think
*Oracle* would be the place to turn to for support on this?  You'd be lucky
indeed to find someone here who knows what "[Generic Connectivity Using
ODBC]DRV_InitTdp: DB_ODBC_INTERFACE(6); Initialization function
SQLAllocConnect not found DB_ODBC_INTERFACE(7)" is even talking about.  

For the record (as it were), the FreeTDS driver does provide a
SQLAllocConnect function.  If you get to the point where you're seeing
errors from FreeTDS, turn on logging and post what you see.  

And if you get this to work, I'd appreciate it if you let us know.  Even if
we're not sure what it is you did.  ;)

Regards,
