This topic lists the requirements to use the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver for Linux:
64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, with the following packages:
glibc 2.5, the GNU libc libraries
libgcc 4.1.2, GCC version 4.1 shared support library
libstdc++ 4.1.2, GNU Standard C++ Library
e2fsprogs-libs 1.39, Ext2/3 file system-specific static libraries and headers (provides /lib/libuuid.so.1)
Krb5-libs (Kerberos shared libraries)
Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface (GSS-API)
OpenSSL
64-bit UnixODBC 2.3.0 Driver Manager, built for 64-bit SQLLEN/SQLULEN (later versions of the 64-bit UnixODBC Driver Manager are not supported with version 1 of the SQL Server ODBC Driver for Linux)
See Installing the Driver Manager. UnixODBC 2.2.11, which is provided by the unixODBC package, available from the Red Hat Network’s subscription services, is not compatible with this version of the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver for Linux.
