So I needed to get DBD::Sybase installed today. Here's my notes:
download:
---------
$ wget http://download.sybase.com/pub/ase1192_linux/sybase-openclient-11.1.1-3.i386.rpm
$ wget http://download.sybase.com/pub/ase1192_linux/sybase-common-11.9.2-3.i386.rpm
$ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/ME/MEWP/DBD-Sybase-1.07.tar.gz
install:
--------
# apt-get install alien
$ alien --to-deb sybase-openclient-11.1.1-3.i386.rpm
$ alien --to-deb sybase-common-11.9.2-3.i386.rpm
# dpkg -i sybase-openclient_11.1.1-4_i386.deb
# dpkg -i sybase-common_11.9.2-4_i386.deb
make a standard location
------------------------
# ln -s /opt/sybase-11.9.2 /opt/sybase
fix the locales
see http://www.peppler.org/FAQ/linux.html#q1.14
-----------------------------------------------
emacs /opt/sybase/locales/locales.dat
find the string [linux] and add this directly below:
locale = en_US, us_english, iso_1
add to ~/.bashrc:
-----------------
export SYBASE=/opt/sybase/
export PATH=$PATH:$SYBASE/bin
$ source ~/.bashrc
install the perl module:
------------------------
$ tar xvfz DBD-Sybase-1.07.tar.gz
$ cd DBD-Sybase-1.07
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ sudo make install
