Dhani has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I have trouble to install Sybperl in window 2003 64bit/Sybase 15.5. My OS is MS window server 2003 server standard x64 Edition. I had Perl 64bit for window and Sybase 15.5 64bit for window installed.

1. download sybperl-2.19

2. edit config file SYBASE=c:\sybase15 EXTRA_LIBS=-linsck EXTRA_DEFS=-DDO_TIE LINKTYPE=static

3. run Perl Makefile.PL, the following are output of the command.

C:\sybperl-2.19>perl Makefile.PL Set up gcc environment - gcc.exe (tdm64-1) 4.5.1 It looks like you don't have either nmake.exe or dmake.exe on your PA so you will not be able to execute the commands from a Makefile. You install dmake.exe with the Perl Package Manager by running: ppm install dmake C:\Sybase15 Unknown Client Library version - assuming FreeTDS.

    The libraries are probably named libsybcs64.lib, etc. You will need to modify the Makefile.PL with the 64 bit names to be able to build.
