                                  Rick,

                                  Hi this is Mark from Chubb - we have 
installed and customised 
                                FreeTDS  on AIX 5.1 and successfully tested 
with MS SQL Server
                                2000 (plus installed and tested unixODBC) - 
but it took a little time.
                                The tsql ( FreeTDS) and isql (unixODBC) both 
work with some effort.

                                  We did the following:-

                                  1 Downloaded freetds-0.61 (then gzip -d 
freetds-0.61.tgz)
                                  2. Downloaded GNupro to get gcc (AIX Linux 
tools)
                                  3. Configure with tdsver and unixODBC
                                  4. Use make not gmake
                                  5. Use ibtdsodbc.so.o for ODBC ("ar -t 
libtdsodbc.a" to find and -
                                       use "ar x libtdsodbc.a" to un-archive 
- goes in odbcinst.ini

                                  Give me some details of your set-up and how 
far you are!

                                  Regards,

                                  Mark Heares.

        Subject:        [freetds] Compile problems with AIX 5.0 


                                I am trying to compile the FreeTDS software 
on an AIX 5.0.  Has anyone done
                                this successfully?  If so what did you have 
to change to get it work  I keep
                                getting messages about the readline.h file.
