Sorry I didn't try the Usenet group first, but NASA restricts access to
Usenet groups and I cannot access it.
Anyway, we downloaded Sybase 11.9.2 ASE and installed it on a PII 266
running RedHat Linux 6.2. After installation, we started the dataserver
and set the $SYBASE variable to /opt/sybase-11.9.2. Next, we went to
download DBD::Sybase from CPAN. The following is the output from the
installation:
[root@ranier ~]# perl -MCPAN -e shell

The warnings in the beginning from CPAN just started to appear once we
started the first of many tries to install DBD::Sybase.
I really do not have the expertise to diagnose this problem. I was
wondering if anyone here would have an idea about what is wrong and how
to remedy the situation.
Thanks,
