Currently I'm attempting a HP-UX corse at HP (HP-UX System and Network 
Administration
I). I reproduced your issue, it's caused by an error detecting libtds. I'm
unable to provide a fix (I don't have CVS access here) however you can open
src/odbc/Makefile and remove libtds.la file occurency to link correctly
libtdsodbc.sl.
Next week I'll fix this problem (I have already fixed the code at work)
