Here I am trying to fetch data from MS-SQL Server 2008 to my Rails application on Ubuntu 10. But I am unable to install tiny_tds. I follow the step given at github. But no response. Please guide me to setup correctly.

Used gem command :: gem install tiny_tds

This command as well :: gem install tiny_tds –with-freetds-include=/usr/local/include/freetds –with-freetds-lib=/usr/local/lib

Error :

    Did you install freeTDS prior to install the gem?

    sudo apt-get install freetds-dev
    

    Then

    gem install tiny_tds
