Hi James,

Tried configure --disable-iconv but it still looked for and used iconv,
so I renamed the iconv executable, header file and library then did a
configure.  Configure couldn't find iconv and suggested I install
libiconv.

Once make and make install had finished, I get the same illegal
instruction (coredump), but the log is different:

08:38:31.549425 Starting log file for FreeTDS 0.63
        on 2006-02-28 08:38:31 with debug level 99.
08:38:31.549705 Using trivial iconv from
        iconv.c

It does seem iconv is the problem.  I have tried installing libiconv 1.9
and I get the same coredump as soon as I run the iconv executable.  Is
there any way to use FreeTDS without calling iconv even the trivial
iconv call from iconv.c?

Hi David, 

The next message in your TDSDUMP log would be from iconv, something
like:

write.c:134:tds_put_string converting 9 bytes of "localhost"

Maybe the problem is iconv?  Try --disable-iconv.  

Please let us know.  I may need to update the UG.
