Craig, 

Not by default, and hasn't been since 0.53.  PREFIX nowadays defaults to
/usr/local:

$ ./configure --help |grep -C1 -E '\-\-prefix\=PRE|sysconfdir'
Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local]
  --datadir=DIR          read-only architecture-independent data
[PREFIX/share]
  --sysconfdir=DIR       read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
  --sharedstatedir=DIR   modifiable architecture-independent data
[PREFIX/com]

Perhaps you had configured 0.60 to be compatible with 0.53?  

BTW, you can check how FreeTDS searches its configuration files for your
servername by setting the TDSDUMPCONFIG environment variable.  

Regards,
