Right, I know that, but the machine(s) where testing is being done
never has had Sybase 12.0 installed. It is a clean machine, with just
Solaris installed, as well as my perl scripts and perl modules (DBI,
DBD, etc).

My entire purpose of this testing is to figure out the build
procedures, without any legacy (sybase) software installed. I just am
trying to see if I can still continue to use my same Sybperl and
DBD::Sybase, or if I needed to build a new set for OCS 12.5, or if I
can get away with still using my old Sybperl/DBD::Sybase with just
creating a symlink to libtli.so.
