Your sybase home directory is /home/sybase. Check the environment variable SYBASE if it is not the one you want!

The error message is pretty clear, I'd think. When your script runs
(presumably as a CGI script) the SYBASE environment is not set, or set
to point at the wrong place (in this case /home/sybase). You need to
set the SYBASE env. variable to /opt/sybase (or wherever Sybase is
installed on your system). With Apache this can be done with

	  SetEnv SYBASE /opt/sybase

in the httpd.conf file.
