Re: building perl with 64-bit

[andal]

Maybe, it would be better if you provide the command that you use when you install DBD::Sybase and the error that you get.

output from the failures in make:

Part of my own confusion is whether I need to point the CONFIG towards the freetds directories or the sybase directories. These are errors are with the sybase directories.

[andal]

So, it might be that your Sybase installation is 32-bit. Normally, perl modules link against libraries provided by the application. In this case, linker searches for these libraries in /apps/sybase/lib, it needs library with name 'ct'. The ones that it finds are not compatible with the object currently created.

So, I would recommend you to check Sybase installation and leave CPAN alone :) You can use 'file' utility to see type of the object.

[mpeppler]

andal is bang on.
You Sybase libs are 32bit. The 64bit libs are named libct64.so (etc). However, given the name of the libs this appears to be Sybase 12.x (or maybe even earlier), and may not exist as 64bit code at all (depending on the platform).
