Hi Sébastien,

Absolutely correct, thanks.

Commenting out the lines that append _r64 to the lib path for 64-bit
arch fixes the problem:

if os.name == 'posix':                  # unix
   # Most people will define the location of their Sybase
   # installation in their environment.
...
   lib_names += ['sybblk', 'sybct', 'sybcs', 'sybtcl', 'sybinsck',
'sybcomn', 'sybintl', 'sybunic']
   for name in lib_names:
       extensions = [('', 'a'), ('', 'so'), ('_r', 'a'), ('_r', 'so')]
#        if have64bit and sys.platform not in ['osf1V5']:
#            extensions = [('_r64', 'a'), ('_r64', 'so')]
       for (ext1, ext2) in extensions:
           lib_name = "%s%s" % (name, ext1)
           lib_path = os.path.join(sybase, 'lib', 'lib%s.%s' %
(lib_name, ext2))
           if os.access(lib_path, os.R_OK):
               syb_libs.append(lib_name)
               break

For interest sake:

$ ls /usr/lib/lib*blk* /usr/lib/lib*ct* /usr/lib/lib*cs*
/usr/lib/lib*sybtcl* /usr/lib/lib*insck* /usr/lib/lib*comn*

ls: cannot access /usr/lib/lib*comn*: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/lib*intl*: No such file or directory
