Answer 1

sudo apt-get install freetds-dev

or

sudo apt-get install tdsodbc

now for 32-bit look in:

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/odbc/libtdsodbc.so

or 64-bit:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libtdsodbc.so

Answer 2

I ended up solving it with the help of this listserv post:

http://mailman.unixodbc.org/pipermail/unixodbc-support/2008-November/001842.html

Except:

Driver = TDS

Should be:

Driver = FreeTDS

That weird 64-bit driver I had to manually find was also relevant, and ignoring freetds.conf was the way to go.

Fun stuff.
