Hi all
I triying to connect my linux system (RHEL 3)  to an SLQ server in a
windows 2000 machine. I have the following packages installed in my
linux system:

DBI-1.48
freetds-0.63
DBD-Sybase-1.07

The drivers installed are:

DBM, ExampleP, File, Pg, Proxy, Sponge, Sybase, mysql

My freetds conf :

[sqlexpress]
        host = X.X.X.X
        port = 1433
        tds version = 8.0


My DBI->connect:

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Sybase:server=sqlexpress", $user, $passwd, 
{PrintError => 0});

 
I obtain the following error when I execute my perl script:

   DBI 1.48-ithread default trace level set to 0x0/4 (pid 28344)

The SQL Server works fine and it listening on 1433 port. I can connect
it with my SQL 2005 Manager and Toad.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance!
