tsql use core library, not ODBC, however is a good idea to test
connection with tsql, now you know you don't have network/firewall
problems. libtdsodbc_mssql.so.0 does not exist, is a name used by some
packager so avoid collision (I found it in Mandriva just yesterday).
ODBC is compiled only if a DM (unixODBC or iODBC) is found with
developing files that is on RH unixODBC and unixODBC-devel package.
Under RH (and many other distros that use rpm) you can build with

  rpmbuild -ta freetds-0.63.tar.gz

this will produce rpm packages.
