Unable to install freetds on RHEL7

centos7freetdsrhel7

I'm attempting to set up php-mssql in RHEL7. freetds is not available in the default RHEL repo, so I enabled epel as follows: 

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.oss.ou.edu/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
yum install freetds

That yields: 

Error: Package: freetds-0.91-2.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libgnutls.so.26()(64bit)
Error: Package: freetds-0.91-2.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libgnutls.so.26(GNUTLS_1_4)(64bit)

RHEL installed gnutls-3.3.8-12.el7_1.1.x86_64 by default.

Is there a way through the woods?

While not ideal, this seems to work. 

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm
yum install php56w php56w-common
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/epel/7/x86_64/f/freetds-0.95.19-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
yum install freetds-0.95.19-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
yum install php56w-mssql
# success
