Hi,
  if you followed the link you post initially
(http://www.gotodba.com/install-and-configure-db-link-to-sql-server-database-in-linux.html)
you compiled from sources (configure and make is the "standard" way
many programs use to compile). Oracle suggestion (upgrade unixODBC to
2.2.14) is IMHO mandatory. You could download updated version from
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/ (patched) and
follow same steps you found in the link.

Regards
  Frediano Ziglio
