Well that's an error I've not seen before (but then I don't know of
many people who run SCO anymore...)

I think you need to go into /usr/lib and run something like (csh syntax)
foreach i (*.a)
echo $i
nm $i | grep ftol
end

and see in which library that symbol is defined.

Also, do the same thing in your Sybase lib directory, because it might
just possibly be defined there...

Then, if you find it, you need to add that library to the EXTRA_LIBS
line in sybperl's CONFIG and rebuild from scratch (ie starting with
perl Makefile.PL).
