[Zope] talking to Sybase from FreeBSD 4.2

[Reinoud van Leeuwen]

Hello world,

being fairly new (but already enthousiastic:-) on Zope, I am trying to get my 
Zope 2.3.1 (on Python 2.0) talking to a Sybase (11.0.3.3) database, from a 
FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE box. (Zope 2.3.1 on Py 2.0 is what the current port makes of 
it)
(My Zope is running inside a FreeBSD jail, but I do not think this is relevant 
to my problem).

I have looked on recent information about Sybase and Zope, but everything seems 
to be about two years old :-(. The instructions from The_Jester do not work (I 
think the diff files are too old)

When I try to build the Sybase DA (SybaseDA-2_0b2) from the instructions in the 
README, it stops somewhere by complaining 
that /usr/local/lib/python2.0/config/Setup.thread is not found (and indeed this 
file was in python 1.5 but not in 2.0)...

Has anyone recently gotten this to work? (either with native Sybase libraries 
or FreeTDS libraries) Or should I try to use SQL relay?

TIA,

Reinoud
