To try to figure out why you get a seg fault please post the stack
trace. To get the stack trace you have to enable core dumps (ulimit -c
unlimited) and once you have a core dump use gdb to get the stack trace:
gdb `which perl` core.xxxx
gdb> bt

What database server are you trying to talk to?
These libraries are very old - you would be better off getting ASE
12.5.3 - see http://www.sybase.com/linuxpromo/

Again - what database server do you need access to? If it's a Sybase
server I would recommend not using FreeTDS at this time.
