I am trying to get DBD::Sybase working on a Windows platform with Activestate perl 5.8. I could not find a PPM module already compiled for the platform that works with Sybase 15.0. All the errors are "Can't find libct". In Sybase 15, the libraries are all renamed to libsybct, libsybdb, libsybblk, and so on. So I downloaded all of the programs from http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=387070, downloaded DBD::Sybase 1.08, modified the Makefile.PL to reference the new library names and attempted to compile. It's not working (note, this is only part of the error messages):

Does anyone have this working? Any help or tips? Thanks

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
