Hi Robert,
  I am using Cent OS 5.2. I gone thru the link you have provided, I found a
entry /usr/local/freetds/lib what I have downloaded is freetds stable
release, inside that I cant able to find any lib folder. The older version
also I cant able to find any one. Where to get the lib folder. And also
please let me know while installing freetds we need to enable the msdblib.
