sybperl make test fails for Sybase 12.5.3 on RHEL3

Hello,
Having a problem getting sybperl installed here.

Have Sybase 12.5.3 installed on a RHEL3 system.  Everything looks good 
until I run "make test".  I have tried with with default perl from RH 
and a compiled version as suggested in README.linux.  Both fail same way 
in make test.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[sybase@seth sybperl-2.18]$ perl Makefile.PL
/usr/sybase
Sybase OpenClient 12.5.1 found.
The sybperl modules need access to a Sybase server to run the tests.
To clear an entry please enter 'undef'
Sybase server to use (default: SYBASE): SETH
User ID to log in to Sybase (default: sa):
Password (default: undef):
Sybase database to use on SETH (default: undef):

* Writing login information, including password, to file PWD.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
