My version has:

    my $libct;
 
    foreach (qw(libct.a libct.so libct64.a libct64.so)) {
        $libct = "$lib/$_";
        last if -e $libct;
    }
 
    my $version = `strings $libct`;

which should find the version string in one of the appropriate library
files (although I should probably test for libct.dll and libct.sl as
well...)

I don't know - is that libblk that you mean? Could you send me an ls -l
of the OCS/lib directory?

Yes, but the config may be slightly different, and DBD::Sybase doesn't
need the -lblk/-lblk64 library as it doesn't use the blk_...()
functionality.
