I configured my /etc/odbc.ini, /etc/freetds/freetds.conf and /etc/odbcinst.ini.

RE: Debian build the freeradius package with unixodbc support
Hi, I finally got everything compiling and work just fine. You can see the answer I provided to my own question on serverfault. http://serverfault.com/a/451350/99708 Thank you for the unixodbc-dev dependencies I was missing. I also want to let you know that it has been replaced by libiodbc2-dev but then you have to create a symlink: ln -s /usr/lib/libodbc.so.1 /usr/lib/libodbc.so because it isn't created when installing the package. Now I have a freeradius and MSSQL backend working and being tested for a future production move. Best.

Long version: there are ways you can change the debian recipe to get it to build odbc module (i.e. one of the requirements is that you need to install unixodbc-dev first), but it's MUCH easier to just use whatever the distro provide and support.
