Version 5.5.x requires the OpenServer Gateway (OSG) which should have
come with the database but runs as a separate process.  You'll need to
set up a sql.ini file for sybase and then there is a command to kick
off the process.

If this doesn't point you in the right direction, let me know and I'll
look up my config tonight and give you more details.
