[Zope] RE: Can't make the Sybase DA

[Bauer, Georg]

Hi!

Attached a mailing with the support-list at digital creations. Looks like
they have no idea what's happening. Any one around here any idea? Recap on
the situation: it looks like there is a circular dependency in the Sybase-DA
Makefile.pre.in: Makefile.pre.in creates Makefile.pre, but that needs
sedfile and that needs Makefile which is the goal of the whole process and
therefore can't exist at this moment.

Python-dev and Sybase dev-libs are installed (FreeTDS for the Sybase
dev-libs, but I have the original libs, too).

bye, Georg
