Hi,I want to access sybase database using Perl. Saw most related earlier posts here.Thought of using DBD::Sybase,is it necessary to install 'sybperl'.I do not think so.What are the prerequites for DBD::Sybase?

While installing DBD::Sybase,I am getting error as 'Please set SYBASE in CONFIG, or set the $SYBASE environment variable at Makefile.PL'.echo $SYBASE shows /usr/local/lib/sybase

I am confused regarding SYBASE and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables as WHICH address to give in both(I am having sybase database on my remote server,so where SYBASE should point to).I am using linux machine.Sorry for such basic doubts,but help will be really appreciable :)
