Tried DBD::Sybase installed without Make Test. The installation was 
successful, but Perl still cannot locate DBD. Here is the error I got

$ perl -MDBD::Sybase -e0 
Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::Sybase in @INC (@INC 
contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/sun4-solaris 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7 /usr/l0
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

In my .profile, I have 
export SYBASE=/usr/local
export TDSVER=8.0

I suspect this may have something to do with the configuration. Here is my 
CONFIG file for DBD::Sybase 1.07
SYBASE=/usr/local/      <-- using freeTDS 0.63
EXTRA_LIBS=-ltli        <-- using Solaris 2.8
DBI_INCLUDE=/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris   <-- ??
BUILD_TYPE=64
LINKTYPE=static

The same thing happen to Sybperl. Here is my CONFIG file for Sybperl 2.08
DBLIBVS=1000            <-- trying to connect to MS SQL 2000, but I'm not 
sure if this is correct
CTLIBVS=100
SYBASE=/usr/local/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SYBASE/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/bin:/usr/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
EMBED_SYBASE = 0
EMBED_SYBASE_USE_HOME = 0
EXTRA_LIBS=-ltli
EXTRA_DEFS=-DNOBLK      <-- should I use DTDS_DBOPEN_HACK instead?
LINKTYPE=static


Cheers,
Chiang Tan
