It turns out that, at least for my installation, I have to replace -tli with -tinsck. If this isn't done, it won't find the bsd_tcp symbol. The installation instructions in src/INSTALL for putting ctsybasemodule in Modules\Setup are correct (note that it doesn't mention that you have to copy the source files (dbi.* and ctsybasemodule.*) into the Modules directory, this may confuse newbies). It seems you don't actually have to run make on in the src directory, as the ctsybasemodule must be recompiled as part of the Python module compilation anyway. Another curiosity: The compilation command line is _correct_ in src/INSTALL -- it refers to libinsck.so, not libtli.so -- but incorrect in the makefile (which does refer to libtli.so). Curiosities abound: If the connection open operation fails in db.py, it will report "Invalid connection string". For me, the module initially failed at line 182, and this had little to do with the connection string itself; it was Sybase denying access to the database, as I had not granted access to the specified user. Emitting the actual Sybase error tuple would have been better. I got the installation to work now, I *think*. :-) Thanks. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "`This must be Thursday,' said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer, `I never could get the hang of Thursdays.'" --Douglas Adams, _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_

Try commenting out -ltli in Setup.in. This library doesn't even seem to be necessary for proper linking.

Compiling ctsybasemodule.so (in the Zope Sybase module) I get an error about libtli.so missing. If I exclude this library from the compilation, ctsybasemodule.so complains about a missing bsd_tcp symbol.

Funny thing is, the library isn't in the Sybase ASE 11.0.3 RPM distribution.

If anybody has the file libtli.so, which supposedly comes with Sybase (under sybase/lib), could they send it to me asap?

*Thank you!* :-)
