This means that the DBlib module does not load.
This is probably the result of some weird configuration problem, or a
missing library. OpenClient on DEC Unix seems to be very finicky about
libraries, unfortunately.
According to sybooks
(http://sybooks.sybase.com:80/dynaweb/group3/cng1110e/ocspsunx/@Generic__BookView)
DEC Unix needs
-L$SYBASE/lib -lsybdb -ldnet -lm
in the library string to build a DBlibrary app.
You should check the DBlib/Makefile and optionally edit the
EXTRALIBS/LDLOADLIBS macros to correspond to the line above and see if
that helps.
