Install issues on Debian...

[binarypaladin]

I got tiny_tds to install just fine on OS X where I do my development, but the server I'm running is sporting Debian 5. FreeTDS has been compiled manually in /usr/local (which is exactly what I've done in OS X), however when I try to install tiny_tds I get the following error on Deb:

$ sudo gem install tiny_tds
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing tiny_tds:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of

I'm baffled as to why it can't find it when it explicitly says looking for library directory /usr/local/lib ... yes. Is this somehow related to the iconv errors in the other issue? checking for main() in -liconv... no

This issue duplicates #11 and is actively being worked on.

Okay! I thought that might be the case but my error message didn't look exactly the same. Sorry to keep being such a bother! I'm entirely too excited about being able to ditch ODBC and appreciate your time and effort.
