Although I have been using UNIX machines for quite some time I am still
somewhat of a novice when it comes to installing new packages and what not.
I am even less experienced with FreeTDS.

To set the scene I am trying to use PHP to access a remote MS SQL Server
2000 machine simply to query the database and post the results to a web
site. To the best of my knowledge in order to do this I must install
FreeTDS.

I have been having numerous problems getting FreeTDS to install, but thanks
to this mailing list I have made it pretty far. However, I am finally at my
wits end. I am encountering numerous make errors and I have no clue how to
troubleshoot them.

The latest "make check" produced a pretty long output, so here is a
condensed version. If you need more posted let me know.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
