  <p>This is my I/O:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[root@mydomain ~]# yum search freetds
  Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
  Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
   * base: mirror.web-ster.com
   * extras: mirror.beyondhosting.net
   * updates: mirrors.sonic.net
  =============================== Matched: freetds ===============================

  [root@mydomain ~]# yum install freetds
  Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
  Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
   * base: mirror.web-ster.com
   * extras: mirror.beyondhosting.net
   * updates: mirrors.sonic.net
  Setting up Install Process
  No package freetds available.
  Error: Nothing to do

  <p>How can I install freetds?  I am just trying to connect to SQL Server!</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
  
  <p>After <code>yum install php-mssql</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[root@mydomain ~]# yum install php-mssql
  Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
  Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
   * base: mirror.web-ster.com
   * extras: mirror.beyondhosting.net

   You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
   You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
