<sigh>

Why can't RH leave things as they are?

BTW - where are the libraries located? Are they still in /usr/lib?

It would have to be changed in DBD::Sybase. Patches welcome - but keep
in mind that the current build system must continue to work as
DBD::Sybase's primary use (with *Sybase* installations and libraries)
uses $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/include and $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/lib to find the
appropriate files.
