You want to understand your runtime linker a little better, not that
that's everyone's favorite pasttime. 

And ELF binary can incorporate runtime link paths.  I'm curious, what does
your machine show for this:

$ readelf -d `which tsql` |sed -ne1,/rpath/p

Dynamic segment at offset 0x2e6c contains 20 entries:
  Tag        Type                         Name/Value
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libcurses.so.5]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libtds.so.3]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libc.so.12]
 0x0000000f (RPATH)                      Library rpath: [/usr/local/lib]

(ISTR Linux systems often don't use the RPATH entry.  I guess it would be
set by libtool.)

Regarding readline, 

$ nm /usr/pkg/lib/libreadline.so.4 |grep BC
00028ebc B BC

On my system, libreadline.so.4 points to libreadline.so.4.3.  Yours?  

Note, my binary uses libcurses.so.5 and you (seem to) have three ncurses
installed.  Maybe tsql is linked to the wrong one?  

HTH.
