Hello all,

I'm trying to do the near impossible... access MSSQL from a Linux box.  This 
is one of the most frustrating things I've ever done in Linux.  Recompiling 
the kernel is easier than this.

I've read quite a bit and attempted this a few times.  I read up on 
freetds.org, iodbc.org, and CPAN perl modules DBD::Sybase and DBD::ODBC.

I can compile and install FreeTDS fine, but I cannot get the DBD::Sybase or 
DBD::ODBC to install correctly.

For DBD::Sybase I did EXACTLY as the POD doc tells me to, and the 'make test' 
portion fails miserably on some error.

For DBD::ODBC it keeps thinking I'm using udbc, eventhough I've set SYBASE 
and ODBCHOME to /usr/local/freetds.  If I try a make anyway, it fails trying 
to link to -ludbc.

Has anyone had luck with this?
