Calling all DBD::Sybase experts...

I am trying to install DBD::Sybase on a HPUX 11 server, but cannot get
it to work.
I don't mind if it is not version 1.07, i just need it to work!

I have Freetds installed and can connect to various servers using it's
tsql command.

I have set SYBASE=/usr/local/freetds
I have set SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/freetds/lib

The Perl version is 5.8.8

Calling make, I get this:
# make
cp dbd-sybase.pod blib/lib/DBD/dbd-sybase.pod
cp Sybase.pm blib/lib/DBD/Sybase.pm
        /usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/~DRIVER~/Sybase/g"

Then make test fails everything with comments like:

"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/autocommit....ok 1/9/usr/lib/dld.sl: Bad magic number for shared

and

Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected

There are lots and lots of such comments.
This is a bit of a shock as I've never had a problem like this on
Solaris!.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
