[freetds] /usr/include/freetds/ and DBD-Sybase problem

Hi,
Here's the situation:
I've installed Dag's latest freetds rpms (freetds-0.62.3-1.1.el3.rpm
and freetds-devel-0.62.3-1.1.el3.rpm, dated 2004 May 17) on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3 with no problems, works as expected, etc.
I then proceeded to build the latest DBD-Sybase 1.02, which failed
messily with missing include problems (here's a short excerpt):
In file included from Sybase.xs:14:
Sybase.h:16:22: ctpublic.h: No such file or directory
In file included from Sybase.h:46,
from Sybase.xs:14:
dbdimp.h:23: syntax error before "CS_SMALLINT"
dbdimp.h:23: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
dbdimp.h:24: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
I found that the problem is that the freetds-devel header files are
installed to /usr/include/freetds/ instead of just /usr/include/ and
linking them to /usr/include/ allowed DBD-Sybase to build. (There
weren't any name conflicts with headers already in /usr/include/ .)
The headers seems to have been moved to /usr/include/freetds/ relatively
recently (another server here with freetds-devel 0.61 has them in
/usr/include/). DBD-Sybase expects $SYBASE/lib and $SYBASE/include to
work, which seems reasonable, but if the header location was changed on
purpose is this something that needs to be updated in DBD-Sybase?
Thanks,
Joshua Daniel Franklin
