Solution: Ok... so I installed the php5 source package
apt-get source php5 I decided to just give the extension in ext/sybase a try before applying any patches. cd ext/sybase phpize && configure && make && sudo make install After that it was a simple matter of adding a sybase.ini file to /etc/php5/conf.d with the contents extension=sybase.so I then restarted apache2 and it works :) I'm still a bit confused as to why the php5-sybase package installs the mssql.so module, and the php5-mssql package is a virtual for php5-sybase. But it is working for me now, and hopefully the people who need this info can find it here. Thanks again for the help Ondřej and Chuck!
