Subject: DBD::ODBC looks in /etc not /usr/local/etc for odbc files

All,

I had installed the freetds and unixODBC packages onto my Linux system 
using RPMs.

These RPMs installed these two packages into / basically (config files 
in /etc, libraries in /lib and so forth).

However, when I discovered that they weren't working, I gave up on the 
RPMs and built the packages myself into /usr/local (config files in 
/usr/local/etc, libraries in /usr/local/lib and so forth).

I then installed ruby-odbc and ruby-dbi (with the ODBC driver).

What I'm finding is that when I attempt to use the DBD::ODBC package to 
connect to my database, the config. files are still being referenced 
from /etc instead of /usr/local/etc.

How do I "make" the Ruby modules look in /usr/local for the config files 
instead of /etc?

I don't really understand how Ruby is generating it's path's internally.

Thanks,
Wes
