Freetds, DBD-Sybase, Fedora 10

This is an update to an earlier entry

If you want to install DBD-Sybase Perl Module and use freetds in Fedora 10
you must install a patch for it to work. My versions are freetds-0.82, DBD-Sybase-1.09 and of course Fedora 10.

Find your way to the FreeTDS source directory, such that this command

works:



$ grep '\$Id' include/cspublic.h

static const char rcsid_cspublic_h[] = "$Id: cspublic.h,v 1.61 2008/09/08

17:50:25 jklowden Exp $";



Your ID will be different; it should match what's in the patch: 1.58.



Then "man patch" is your friend.  Like it says,



	usually just



	patch 

is all you need, as in:



	$ patch < /path/to/your/cspublic.BLK_VERSION_150.patch



Then build and install per usual.
