Rajani, 

FreeTDS 0.60 exports dbdead, lowercase.  If (your file?) common.c includes
the FreeTDS 0.53 header files, it will try to import DBDEAD from libsybdb.
 If linked to the FreeTDS 0.60 libraries, it will fail, producing the
above message.  

This change was made to improve binary compatibility with Sybase's
libraries.  

Regards,
