Hello everyone,

I'm having problems getting DBD::Sybase to work with FreeTDS. I
followed the installation instructions and I was able to connect to my
SQL server using tsql. However, I can't connect using DBD::Sybase
because the perl script fails to compile. I must point out that I
searched the archives and I found a thread dealing with the same
problem and Fedora Core 2 (I'm using FC 3). The fix was to add
/usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf. I did it and I still get the same
error:


# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# perl mssql.pl 
install_driver(Sybase) failed: Can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Sybase/Sybase.so'
for module DBD::Sybase: libct.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
  at (eval 1) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
  at mssql.pl line 5

I do have libct.so..
ls /usr/local/freetds/lib
libct.a     libct.so.3.0.0  libsybdb.so.5      libtds.so        libtdssrv.la
libct.la    libsybdb.a      libsybdb.so.5.0.0  libtds.so.4      libtdssrv.so
libct.so    libsybdb.la     libtds.a           libtds.so.4.0.0  libtdssrv.so.2
libct.so.3  libsybdb.so     libtds.la          libtdssrv.a     
libtdssrv.so.2.0.0

And ls -l 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Sybase/
-r--r--r--  1 root root      0 May 11 11:57 Sybase.bs
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root root 238952 May 11 11:57 Sybase.so

This is the order in which I installed the needed programs.
DBI-1.48
freetds-0.63
DBD-Sybase-1.02

I'm using FC 3 kernel 2.6.9-1.667

I will appreciate any help or hints.
Thanks,
K
