I'm trying to get an existing server set up to port existing apps over.  The bulk of them require Sybase.  The server I'm trying to set up is running Mac OS X 10.4 with Intel chips.  The source server is running Mac OS X 10.4 with G5 chips and it's having problems.

I installed DBD::Sybase and Sybase::CTlib -both with some difficulty and I have to admit I forced a few things out of desperation.  Ultimately, I think there's something wrong with my Sybase.bundle because I get this error:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _cs_ctx_alloc
  Referenced from: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/Sybase/Sybase.bundle
  Expected in: dynamic lookup

dyld: Symbol not found: _cs_ctx_alloc
  Referenced from: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/Sybase/Sybase.bundle
  Expected in: dynamic lookup

Trace/BPT trap

I went through the information in the FAQ and the errors I get don't look like what's there.  I remember at one point trying to install, I got errors about the processor not being PPC.  I haven't had much luck getting the SYBASE (and other) environment variables to be visible to perl.  I don't have a lot (module-wise) installed at this point, so I can start over if that makes things easier.  That should be full disclosure.

What do I need to do?

Thanx,
Paul
