Re: FreeTDS problem

Couple of things:

Do you have an entry defined for $ENV{SYBASE}? This should point to your FreeTDS home directory (e.g., /usr/local/freetds)
Did you define your servers in /usr/local/freetds/interfaces? There are default entries there which you might be trying to access that are defined for a network you can't reach (thus the error message). The format of the interfaces file is pretty simple and you should be able to follow the examples.
Did you see the FreeTDS FAQ?

I have gotten this combination to work, although some of the metadata capabilities from DBD::Sybase weren't available. Simple stuff was ok.

hope this helps

I've tried all of this with no change to my results. And yes, I've stared the the FreeTDS FAQ until my eyes hurt. Thanks for the effort, anyway.	[reply]

Does your server run on default port? May be you need additional configuration of your interfaces in your `freetds.conf` or `interfaces`. For example, in my `freetds.conf` I have the following section: `[WEBCOOL] host = 10.0.0.13 port = 9100 tds version = 7.0 text size = 10000` [download] -- yuriy	[reply] [d/l] [select]
