Hi Cole--

when you first installed freetds, did you have any problems compiling?

Last June I joined this list to post a question after spending the  
better part of a day trying to figure out why freetds wouldn't install  
on my Mac, but I got no responses. I gave up on freetds after that,  
but circumstances have dragged me back here... what I've been trying  
to do is essentially the same thing as what you were able to do, to  
get freetds and the mssql extension working on MAMP, and it seems like  
you've managed to succeed at this. Advice would be appreciated.

The specific error, as reported in the config.log file, is:

/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple- 
darwin8/4.0.1/../../../libSystem.dylib unknown flags (type) of section  
6 (__TEXT,__literal16) in load command 0
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Thanks--

Robert Carter
