Dear Fellow Monks,
Here is a new Monk Jr. asking for help :D

I have in the pursuit of the coveted DBD::Sybase compiled with Sybase OCS 15, on windows vista with msvc 8. I compiled and linked correctly with some fixes to the makefile. (I'd sure help any one with this if they want me to)

After installing when I launch perl and include DBD::Sybase, it fails with the error "Runtime error! program has tried to load C runtime library incorrectly"


Sol(n) Attempted:
1)Tried to create an manifest file as bellow

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
<assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1'
<manifestVersion='1.0'>
<dependency>

<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type='win32'
<name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT' version='8.0.50727.762'
processorArchitecture='x86'
publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>
placed it along Sybase.dll in the installed area, simply it didn't work

2) Tried to embed the manifest with /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE: options for the linker in msvc. There are no errors with the linking, it took the manifest but still the same error persists

I am just inches away from the border to glory and pulled by my both legs by Mr. BILL

Any help would surely be appreciated very much. Thanks
