[Python-sybase-misc] Need help building on RedHat-AS4

[Roy S. <smi...@em...>]

I've got the following components:

python-sybase-0.38
freetds-0.64
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Feb  2 2005, 11:44:13)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 3)

When I try to build the sybase module, I get

----------------------------------------
kirin:python-sybase-0.38$ python setup.py build_ext -D HAVE_FREETDS - 
U WANT_BULKCOPY
running build_ext

this function)

sybasect.c:109: error: for each function it appears in.)
sybasect.c: In function `initsybasect':
sybasect.c:1564: error: `PyDateTime_IMPORT' undeclared (first use in  
this function)
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
----------------------------------------

Anybody have any clue what's going wrong?

I've also got a deeper question (which probably exposes just how  
little clue I have about this stuff).  My end goal is to talk to a MS  
SQL Server database running on a Windows box.  My understanding is  
that the combination of the python-sybase module and the FreeTDS  
driver will let me do that.  Is that correct?
