FreeTDS .61 (stable)
unixODBC 2.2.5

I have had a tremendously difficult time in getting what at first appeared
to be a relatively simple thing to work. Everything compiled and installed
flawlessly but after a number of earnest attempts, I am still without ODBC
to my MSSQL server from my linux box. tsql testing seems to bear out that
FreeTDS works connecting directly to the server, though. Below are snippets
of configuration files and error msgs. Any help would be appreciated. If I
am being redundantly redundant and my answers are already answered
elsewhere, my apologies.
