Sorry - but that's not the right thing to do - again because
DBD::Sybase's primary function is to work with Sybase OpenClient
installations. In that case if SYBASE isn't set you should look for the
root of the "sybase" user's home directory.

Still I guess that some wider search for the installation dirs is
possible.

Always remember that for Sybase 12.0 and later we really need to check
in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/include and $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/lib.

Anyway - I'll look at the patch and see how/what I'll use.

Thanks,

Michael
