I can see why that's unclear.

$SYBASE should point to the directory tree where FreeTDS is installed. For
instance, in my system,

$ find ~/local -name 'libsybdb*'
/usr/home/jklowden/local/lib/libsybdb.so.2.0
/usr/home/jklowden/local/lib/libsybdb.so.2
/usr/home/jklowden/local/lib/libsybdb.so
/usr/home/jklowden/local/lib/libsybdb.la
/usr/home/jklowden/local/lib/libsybdb.a
/usr/home/jklowden/local/lib/libsybdb.so.3.0
/usr/home/jklowden/local/lib/libsybdb.so.3

I would "export SYBASE=/usr/home/jklowden/local".
