Here's how I did it:

- Installed FreeTDS 0.60 RPMs (freetds-0.60-1 and freetds-devel-0.60-1)

- Edited /etc/freetds/freetds.conf to include a server on my network (for
the DBD::Sybase make test). There are examples in that file.

- Created symlinks to the freetds include files:
cd /usr/include
find freetds -name \*.h -exec ln -s {} \;

- Downloaded DBD::Sybase 0.91. This is not the latest version but it seems
to work very well. (*)

- Set SYBASE:
export SYBASE=/usr

- Built DBD::Sybase, and specified the server I had in my
/etc/freetds/freetds.conf as a test server. Note that make test will not
succeed 100%, but it will get close (95% or so):
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Good luck!

(*) DBD::Sybase 0.95, the latest, requires some small code changes to work
with FreeTDS 0.60. Apparently it will just work when 0.61 is released.
