Subject: Problem loading library
Date: Apr 26 2000 6:03PM

I am having a weird problem with DBI/DBD Sybase.    One of
the people in my group recently received a new workstation.
Her environment has been copied from the previous machine,
but she fails trying to use a DB interface I have written which
uses DBI/DBD sybase.   Sybase is installed on one of the network
machines and accessed via an NFS filesystem.   The SYBASE
environment variable points to this filesystem.   I cannot find any
difference in her environment compared to others who are able
to use the DB interface application.   She can isql to the database
and perform manual queries, the problem is only reported when
trying to use the DBI/DBD Sybase libraries.   The errors reported
indicate a library cant be loaded.   I have verified these files exist
with the path specified in the error message.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I have missed?

The machine is a Sun Solaris 2.6 Ultra 5, 128 MB Ram.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Monty
