GNU make is `gmake` on FreeBSD. Try to use this command instead `make`.

It could just not be used depending on how autoconf is involved. But
libtool 2.2.6b is not supported anymore by the Ports Collection, see the
20101208 entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING for how to upgrade to libtool 2.4
(and get current versions of the other autotools).

It depends.  If it is just for your personal use, then e.g. your home
directory is also fine.  If you want to make a port of it, then it
should be installed in PREFIX (which is /usr/local by default).

Thanks. autogen, configure and gmake all run without errors (although I had to 
install txt2man).

If you don't mind a couple more questions to make sure I'm on the right track.

1. INSTALL says acinclude.m4 must be deleted when using libtool 1.3.4+. I have 
libtool 2.2.6b, did not delete acinclude.m4, and did not get an error. Is this 
correct?

2. configure reports that option "--enable-sql" is unrecognised. Is this 
correct? INSTALL says the SQL engine is used by ODBC, but 
.../src/odbc/.libs/libmdbodbc.so.0 is compiled (and linked to from 
libmdbodbc.so). Is this correct? Does this mean that an SQL engine executable 
is no longer possible? (should I care?)

3. do I need to (or should I) copy the utility programs and odbc driver manager 
to their typical (as I understand them to be) locaitions in the FreeBSD tree? 
(e.g., /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib).

Thanks for your help,
Dale

No idea, i'm not familiar with autotools stuff.

You should be able to determine all valid options by running `./configure
--help`. Also, some options may trigger search for certain includes or libs.
On FreeBSD they are located in /usr/local/{include,lib}, while configure
searches only /usr/{include,lib} by default. This can cause some features to
be turned off.

If you really wish, you can do `gmake install` with root privileges. But
please note, that since you are installing this software from source and not
from ports, it may be hard to remove it in future. You can only rely on
`gmake deinstall` or something like that.
