title: How to install freetds in Linux?
body: <p>I am trying to connect to MSSQL server from Ubuntu. I have installed freetds like suggested <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/149395/what-are-some-ways-of-accessing-microsoft-sql-server-from-linux">here</a>.</p>

  <p>However, when I try to configure /etc/odbc.ini and enter a driver path I have no driver at location <code>/usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so</code>.</p>

  <p>Can someone help me to install freetds and to configure odbc to use it?
  *edit1: I have found libtdsodbc.so in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc. Should I use that driver/path?</p>
