The article has a summary of instructions I've seen elsewhere online, FreeTDS with DBD::Sybase version, which is the most recommended that I've seen. I've tried compiling DBD::Sybase (and I did read about compiling it to use FreeTDS), but make gives lots of errors. make install says it won't without force... I'm not sure, but I think it's something with ActivePerl. They don't have a DBD::Sybase module for download via ppm. If it's a module that would be fairly popular, normally this means it isn't possible, or at least major modification may be required. If it's esoteric, maybe there just isn't enough demand to have it pre-compiled. I didn't try hard to see what the problems compiling DBD::Sybase were, but it may be a no-go with ActivePerl. I'm using ActivePerl because I use Komodo quite a lot. Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
