I've found a problem with freetds (tsql to be specific) and a workaround
that I can live with... but as always any input would be appreciated.


When building freetds-0.62.1 on SunOS 5.6 with;

        /configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-msdblib
        --enable-sybase-compat
        
make and make install completes without any complaints but tsql coredump
with;
        ./bin/tsql -S <$SERVER> -U <$USER>
        locale is "en_US"
        locale charset is "ISO8859-1"
        Password:
        Assertion failed: 0, file iconv.c, line 338
        Abort(coredump)



I've tried both LANG=C and LANG=en_us with the same result.

Following a "make clean" and;

        ./configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-msdblib
        --enable-sybase-compat --disable-libiconv

make fails with;

        sh: test: argument expected
        *** Error code 1
        make: Fatal error: Command failed for target
        `doc/freetds-0.62.1/reference/index.html'
        Current working directory <$HOME>/freetds-0.62.1/doc
        *** Error code 1

make install then fails with;

        *** Error code 2
        make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `dblib.api.sgml'
        Current working directory <$HOME>/freetds-0.62.1/doc
        *** Error code 1
        make: Fatal error: Command failed for target
        `doc/freetds-0.62.1/userguide/index.htm'
        Current working directory <$HOME>/freetds-0.62.1/doc
        *** Error code 1
        make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive'

However I can connect to a MS SQL 2000 server with tsql... but not to a
Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5. I've tried with tds versions 5.0
and 6.0 but NOT 4.2 according to the README file.

        ./bin/tsql -S <$MSSERVER> -U <$USER> -I $HOME/etc/freetds.conf
        locale is "en_US"
        locale charset is "ISO8859-1"
        Password:

        Changed language setting to us_english.

        There was a problem connecting to the server


Connecting with sybase isql to a sybase server will of course work!
