The subject basically says it all...

I have a RH7 box with a remote host running Sybase. I need to connect to my remote host (Solaris Box) and query it. However, whenever I try to install the DBI::Sybase module it fails because it's looking for my local install of Sybase.

I get the following error and the make and install fail.

Can't find any Sybase libraries under /lib.
Please set the SYBASE environment correctly, or edit CONFIG and set SYBASE

Checking the Readme I'm told that this variable should be set by default in Unix and Linux, but that if it's not, to edit my CONFIG and set the locations of my SYBASE install.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks, Alatar
