I can see that this might be easier if I was on a Linux box.  So, James,
I'll take your advice and I'm now on one of my FC4 installs, through
terminal.

I'll go through the process again and list it here, I might well work it out
for myself like this, but I'll still post anyway, in case it helps anyone.

here's the machines details when you go into the python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jun 13 2006, 16:41:18)
[GCC 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8)] on linux2

as root

cd /usr/src/freetds-0.1
./configure --enable-msdblib
make
make install
cd ../pymssql-0.8.0/
python setup.py install

I got no erros then, woohoo!!

And now in the python shell

> > > import pymssql

Doesn't give me an error

thanks everyone, I'll just do the pretty stuff on the mac then, and the
grungy stuff on the linux boxes from now on  :-)
