Can build Sybase::DBlib in sybperl with /usr/local/freetds
as the Sybase lib.  When I try to use the DBlib.pm,
it wanted it under the perl5 heirarchy, but in order
to run anthing trying to 'use' it, it expected
there to be a DBlib/autosplit.ix, which was not made
with DBlib. thus:

Can't locate auto/Sybase/DBlib/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.0040
4 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . /usr/lib/perl5/site_
perl/i386-linux/auto/DBD) at /usr/lib/perl5/AutoLoader.pm line 85.

I know little about what perl modules install with
xs etc, so am not sure how to use the DBlib.pm I made.
Doesn't it need something linked into perl itself a la 
the rest of sybperl?

Make in sybperl as per Ken Oster's instructions fails
because I turned CTlib off.  Turning it on does not
facilitate building of the static perl, as CTlib doesn't
want to compile.

hmmm....

Other people seem to be having more success than myself
under RH5.1 and PERL5, going by the mails.  Or is this
not the case?  Anyway, I push on.

Best,

        CB

You should probably try to build the Sybase::DBlib portion of sybperl
instead. That will probably work fine.

It seems that the Client Library side of Freetds isn't quite ready
yet.

When I try to build DBD::Sybase I get a lot of missing or undefined
symbols. These can probably be added pretty easily, and I'll see if I
can do that tomorrow, but I don't know if it will link, as several
libraries are missing...
