Eddie,

I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
last time I tried to configure/build the latest snapshot, I discovered
config.sub (and a couple of other files) were not present in the
tarball. I think "depcomp" and "libtool" were the others...

I copied them from a previous installation and everything went fine...

Bill

Dear List,

I've been trying to install FreeTDS on my Mac. I've downloaded
freetds-current.tgz from
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/current/, so i should have
an up-to-date version. However, trying to run ./configure gives me the
following result:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub

Following the advice of Mark J. Lilback on
http://www.freetds.org/faq.html#build_macosx did not help to solve this
problem. I am getting the idea that the problem is occurring much
earlier in the installation process than the problems Mark has solved
with his advice.

I've also installed the latest versions of libtool through Fink
(libtool and libtool14). I've also installed iODBC before i tried
installing FreeTDS.

Could somebody please give me some pointers as to what i am doing
wrong? Coming from a macintosh developer background, i do not have that
much unix/linux experience under my belt, so i'm afraid i am doing
something terribly stupid here.

Kind Regards,
Eddie Gieze
