You can comment out line 746 of dbdimp.c and rebuild and things should normally work better.

This still isn't working. Here is what I did: 0) The libraries for 15.0 changed names:

c:\DBD-Sybase-1.08>ls %SYBASE%\OCS-15_0\lib
libsybblk.lib  libsybcs.lib  libsybct.lib  libsybdb.lib

c:\DBD-Sybase-1.08>ls %SYBASE%\OCS-15_0\lib3p
defaultmem.dll  libplc21.dll   nsldapssl32v40.dll
libnspr21.dll   libplds21.dll  sbgse2.dll

c:\DBD-Sybase-1.08>ls %SYBASE%\OCS-15_0\dll
debug           libsybdb.dll     libsybintl.dll   libsybtcl.dll
libsybblk.dll   libsybddce.dll   libsybsdce.dll   libsybunic.dll
libsybcomn.dll  libsybdldap.dll  libsybskrb.dll   nondebug
libsybcs.dll    libsybdreg.dll   libsybsmssp.dll
libsybct.dll    libsybfssl.dll   libsybsrv.dll
[download]

1) Modified Makefile.PL to remove the references to the libraries that do not exist:

    if($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
#    $lib_string = "-L$SYBASE/lib -llibct.lib -llibcs.lib -llibtcl.lib
+ -llibcomn.lib -llibintl.lib -llibblk.lib $attr{EXTRA_LIBS} -lm";

    $lib_string = "-L$SYBASE/lib -llibsybct.lib -llibsybcs.lib $attr{E
+XTRA_LIBS}";
[download]

Note that some of the previous libraries are now dll's. 2) Run perl Makefile.PL

3) Now run nmake: This is just the last bit....

I have been through the archives at http://www.peppler.org/cgi-bin/searcharc.cgi. I do not find any reference to anyone compiling this for Sybase 15 on Windows. The ppd module located at http://www.peppler.org/downloads/ActiveState/ still is looking for the libraries pre-Sybase 15.0. I did comment out the set line in dbimp.c. So, I'm guessing I'm not changing the library line correctly? Is there something else I need to do? Thank you

You need to add -lsybblk.lib to that $lib_string line.

Getting Help
============

If you are stuck please start by searching the Web, the appropriate
mailing lists and my bug database, as it is likely that someone else
will have experienced the same problem before you. Hint: Google is
your friend :-)

The sybperl-l mailing list is dedicated to Sybase <-> perl issues and 
covers both the sybperl modules (Sybase::CTlib, etc.) and DBD::Sybase.
It is archived and searchable at http://www.peppler.org/archive/sybperl-l/

If after seaching you still don't find any solution then post a question
(with as much detail as possible) to either dbi-users@perl.org,
sybperl-l@peppler.org or freetds@lists.ibiblio.org (only use the
latter if you use the FreeTDS libraries with DBD::Sybase).
