Hello,

I'm guessing you built freetds using the  make;make install way. This
doesn't work to well if other programs are looking for freetds as a rpm
package. This is a better way of doing it. Build the rpm packages
yourself. Here are the instructions:

1) download freetds-stable.tgz
2) rename file to freetds-0.82.tar.gz
3) run the following command to build all the freetds rpms: rpmbuild -tb
freetds-0.82.tar.gz

The rpm build will create the following packages:

/your_build_env_dir/RPMS/i386/freetds-0.82-1.i386.rpm
/your_build_env_dir/RPMS/i386/freetds-devel-0.82-1.i386.rpm
/your_build_env_dir/RPMS/i386/freetds-unixodbc-0.82-1.i386.rpm
/your_build_env_dir/RPMS/i386/freetds-doc-0.82-1.i386.rpm
/your_build_env_dir/RPMS/i386/freetds-debuginfo-0.82-1.i386.rpm

Now you should have what you want.

Chris
