note Anonymous Monk Hi, Thanks for the steps. I have a few perl programs that use Sybase::DBlib and Sybase::CTlib. I installed FreeTDS and updated the freetds.conf. Do I need to recompile Sybase::DBlib and Sybase::CTlib after changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and SYBASE env variable to point to the freetds paths? Please advise. 392385 392385 0
