Hi guys,
This problem and the fix bugged me for quite some time - the reason
being that DBI access worked in some situations and not others.
I'll explain:
When I first installed RedHat 6.0 I used DBI::Sybase 0.19 (this applies
to SybPerl also) and everything went swimmingly. I tried to install
0.20 and 0.21 when they came out but they would not build. I didn't
have time to pursue the problem so I ignored it - 0.19 still worked.
When I upgraded to RedHat 6.1, CGI access via DBI still worked. Only
when I tried to run dbgui several days later, did something appear to
be wrong. I still hadn't looked at Michael's page so I was very
puzzled. I tried various things and then checked Michael's page for
further information. I noticed the definition and fix for the problem.
Rather than force environments to be what sybase wanted and causing
problems with other aspects of the system I decided to force sybase
into accepting the status quo of my system.
You can edit the [linux] section of locales.dat to reflect other
environments
locale = en_US, us_english, iso_1
This covered the command line environment of my system.
DBD::Sybase 0.21 and sybperl now compiled with no problems. There have
been no other apparent problems since this change was made.
