For those who may be using 64-bit RHEL 4 and Sybase be careful if you only have access to the 32-bit version of Sybase. The Sybase ASE binary and libraries work fine but they are only 32-bit. However the system perl is 64-bit. This means that when building the DBD::Sybase library in order to use it from perl-DBI the compiler will attempt to build a 64-bit DBD::Sybase which will fail as the 32-bit Sybase OC libraries are IGNORED. I'm still working out how to resolve this problem, which means either switching to the 32-bit RHEL4 or obtaining the 64-bit libraries. I thought it might be useful for other people to know, unless someone has worked out how to resolve this issue. Regards, Simon
