I have Fedora Linux 4 and perl version 5.8.6. Last week i installed the perl DBD::Sybase module along with freetds and everything was working fine. Recently I have installed Adobe acroread v7 and i had problem in opening PDF files. Adobe screen use to come and disappear. Later seachig website i used the command "yum -y install compat-libstdc++-33" and I could make adobe acroread to work fine. But after this I have problem with DBD::Sybase module. I have a test script which checks the connectivity and code is as below 
#! /opt/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl
#
# test the SQL Server database
#

use DBI ;
$user = 'CORETEC\genesis' ;
$passwd = 'genesis' ;


#$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Sybase:server=Tor-sql',$user,$passwd);

$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Sybase:server=Tor-Sql',$user,$passwd);
$dbh->do("use FEE");

$action = $dbh->prepare("sp_help") ;
$action->execute ;
$rows = $action->rows ;
print "rows is $rows\n";

while ( @first = $action->fetchrow_array ) {
        foreach $field ( @first ) {
        print "$field\t";
        }
        print "\n";
}

exit(0);

It was working just fine untill i installed the Adobe. So i used the "yum -y install libct.so.3" and still i have the problem
I even tried installing SYBASE version 15 and problem is same. Do i need to install any other to modify the libct.so.3 ? Help me how can i fix this issue ? and make DBD:Sybase to work
