I open a ticket with DBD-Sybase and the author Michel Peppler thinks there
is an issue
with freetds, not with DBD-Sybase.

This is a problem with FreeTDS.

The issue is that FreeTDS defines CS_UINT_TYPE, but not CS_BIGINT_TYPE, and
Sybase never defines one without the other.

The fix is to edit dbdimp.h and comment out the CS_BIGINT declaration around
line 32.

Isn't this the same symptom I was seeing in the 0.82 driver? Freddy fixed it
in the RC3 release with the rowset test change he made around Feb 29th. Is
the same defect he was fixing in 0.82 still in the 6x code?

No, this is a protocol limit, surely we can't fix this problem...

Hello,
I am having trouble getting Freetds reinstalled after apple put a new hard
drive in my machine.  I followed the tutorial provided by Brian Hogan (
http://www.napcsweb.com/blog/2007/03/08/15/) which worked great in Tiger.
There was just a comment posted about it being broken.  I was wondering if
anyone had a work around or knew if this was a widely known problem.  Any
help or direction would be good, as one of my rails projects relies heavily
on Microsoft's SQL server.


Thanks,
-Chris

I found a solution to the problem just after I sent this email to the list,
a coworker stumbled upon this article
http://pmkenney.com/fix-for-freetds-ruby-odbc-on-max-os-x-leopard.htm

So if anyone else is having problems give that a shot the key is the
"libtool" part.
