Daniel,

I installed the freetds package in Mandrake linux, and the only
libraries that got installed were:

libtds.a
libtds.la*
libtdsS.a
libtdsS.la*
libtds.so.2.0*
libtdssrv.a
libtdssrv.la*
libtdssrv.so.1.0*
libtdsS.so.1.0.0*

I also checked the default ODBC installation for PostgreSQL, which looks
like:

[PostgreSQL]
Description = ODBC for PostgreSQL
Driver = /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so.2
Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so.1
FileUsage = 1

The PostgreSQL libraries look like this:

libodbcpsql.a
libodbcpsql.la*
libodbcpsqlS.a
libodbcpsqlS.la*
libodbcpsql.so.1.0.0*
libodbcpsql.so.2.0.0*
libodbcpsqlS.so.1.0.0*

So I deduced that if I map 1-to-1 the files that Mandrake gives for
freetds and postgresql, I would get:

[TDS]
Description = TDS
Driver = /usr/lib/libtds.so.2
Setup = /usr/lib/libtdsS.so.1
FileUsage = 1

Is this not correct detective work? Is it possible that the Mandrake
folks renamed the ODBC driver? Or is it more likely that they just
don't provide it?

-S.
