Has anyone had problems with alignment issues and sybperl?  In DBlib, it
looks like things come back from dbdata(), and sybperl expects them to
be castable to DBINTs, etc, which apparently they often are not.

This is on a solaris 2.7 box.  Is this a freetds or a sybperl bug?  I'm
inclined to think the latter...

Thanks,
Dave

Actually that's the genreic autoconf instructions.  One day those will
be
removed (once somebody writes a good install file that is :-)

I thought this was fixed in CVS (to use .libs/* that is), but I'm not
sure.

Hm...I'll look at that.

TDS 7.0 support is rather new and I am temporarily without access to MS
SQL, so it's likely to be that way until I get a MS SQL setup (working
on
it)
