[python-sybase] ASE15 and undefined symbol: cs_dt_info

[Eduardo Gonzalez-S. <eg...@as...>]

Hi,

When trying to compile the sybase module using ASE15 I was getting:

> python -c "import sybasect"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: ./sybasect.so: undefined symbol: cs_dt_info

The problem is that ASE15 has renamed their libraries (probably because
of conflicting names with other system libraries) so that e.g. libblk.a
in ASE12.5 is now libsybblk.a. My fix:

(beware of line breaks due to emailer) works for me.

Hope it helps,
