Look in your $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS directory and install all the rpms in
there. I would guess you would have problems with the rpm from
opensuse.org because it was built for Fedora 5.

http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/rkwasny/Fedora_Extras_5/i386
/freetds-unixodbc-0.64-3.1.i386.rpm 

This is the only one I found, I hope it's ok to use it.
