We can stop there.  mssql.so will not try to load any FreeTDS library; we
know that because "ldd" doesn't mention one.  

I should mention, I don't have php installed and don't use it.  I'm
addressing your question at the OS level.  It was clear from your earlier
message that php was failing to load the FreeTDS libraries.  

Some part of php has to load libsybdb or libctl (depending on how it was
configured).  On another thread, I saw this:

> '--with-snmp=shared' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' 
> '--with-sybase-ct=shared,/usr' 

Can you invoke the same function to get the same report?  

It occurs to me that your PHP RPM might be linking in ct-lib instead of
db-lib.  That would be a problem, because you're requesting a db-lib
function (dbinit).  The db-lib library is "libsybdb".
