Yes, you need to be root to run the rpm -i or rpm -U command.

Reading this bit makes it pretty clear. You have LC_ALL set to en_US
(thanks to RedHat's install) but Sybase doesn't know that locale
definition, so it aborts. I would find it more reasonable for Sybase
to issue a warning and default to the 'C' locale, but I'm not the one
who wrote that software :-)
To fix: either make sure that both LANG and LC_ALL are unset, or add
en_US to the list of known locales in the locales.dat file. There's
info on how to do that in the Sybase on linux FAQ, off of my web page.
