Hello,

I've got problem to set up a connection between a sqlanywhere database (7.0). I've made the necessary entries in freetds.conf and odbc.ini. They look like this:

freetds.conf:
[s1]
       host = instr
       port = 2638
       tds version = 5.0

odbc.ini:
[s1]
Driver       = /usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Description  = Sybase Server
Trace        = No
Servername   = inst
Database     = db1
Port         = 2638
TDS_Version  = 5.0

Now, when I try to connect with tsql, it does not seem to work:
sdba at w02:~> tsql -S instr -H db1 -p 2638 -U dba
locale is "C"
locale charset is "ANSI_X3.4-1968"
Password:
There was a problem connecting to the server

Unforunately like this I can't much figure out, what the problem is. tsql does not tell me, what's happening, what the problem is. Or is there a way?

Thanks,
Stephan
