First, thanks for all the help I got yesterday with this problem. Here's what finally worked. 1. Install sybase-openclient RPM and the sybase-common RPM available from http://www.sybase.com/detail/1,3693,1010213,00.html (don't be fooled by the fact that it looks like you'll be downloading the full server). 2. Make sure $SYBASE is in your path 3. run Makefile.PL, then make, then make test in the dir you unpacked sybperl in. - I had a problem here with the bcp test bombing out with the error: Bulk copy failed. Client does not have the capability to bulk copy into the data-only locked table '#bcp'. Which was fixed by editing the BCP/t/bcp.t file, line 49 to read: ($X->sql("create table #bcp(f1 char(5), f2 int, f3 text) lock allpages")) My remote Sybase DB was set to default to datarows locking which was causing the problem - Thanks Michael! 4. make install worked fine after that! Again, thanks for all the constructive help I got. Alyssa Harding -- UNIX System Administrator Port Of Seattle
