I'm trying to use FreeTDS 0.47 and sqsh 1.7 to access a Sybase database
running on Solaris 2.5.1.  It produces some error messages, below, that
I don't know what to do about.

I configured FreeTDS like this:
./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-tdsver=5.0
I also tried it with --with-tdsver=4.2 and 4.6, but that didn't seem to
change anything.  With --with-tdsver=7.0, the library had an unresolved
symbol.

I configured sqsh like this:
./configure  --prefix=/homes/kenmore/web/djm --with-static --with-devlib
I also tried it without --with-devlib, but again, that didn't seem
to make a difference.  I linked it with -lct -lsocket.

I used gcc 2.7.2.  I have set
export SYBASE=$HOME

When I run sqsh, I get this:

djm@webserve0 169 $ ./sqsh

Password:

connect: Cannot assign requested address
Unknown property 26

It does this even if I give it valid -P, -U, -D, and -H arguments,
except then the connect error message is "connect: Connection refused".
When I set SYBASE=/usr/vendor/sybase and run isql, that works.

What do these FreeTDS error messages mean?  I also compiled them on
BSD/OS 4.0.1 and got the same error messages.
