Thanks James and Bill.

I used your "regen" script to setup stuff for the configure script. I 
then hacked the makefile with:

SYBASE_LIBS = -lct -ltds -lnsl -ldl -lm

I also had to put the following lines in:

SYBASE_LIBDIR = -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib \
                 -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib \
                 -L$(SYBASE_OCOS)/lib

..otherwise sqsh couldn't find the libct.so.3 and libtds.so.4 library files 
(I found that on the post 
https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/freetds/2005q2/018442.html)

I can now connect to MSSQL but when I'm querying textual information I get 
the error:

Open Client Message
Layer 0, Origin 0, Severity 9, Number 99
WARNING! Some character(s) could not be converted into client's character 
set. Unconverted bytes
were changed to question marks ('?').
Open Client Message
Layer 0, Origin 0, Severity 78, Number 52
Unknown marker

I'm guessing it's some sort of charset setting in the freetds configuration 
file?

Thanks for your help
