[Python-sybase-misc] Sybase installation directory

[VV W <vv...@gm...>]

Hi experts,

Thanks for your replies. Can you help me again please?

I have installed FreeTDS and all seems ok. I modified
/etc/freetds/freetds.conf in the following way.

# A typical Sybase server

[egServer50]

host = sybaseserver.mycompany.com

port = 5000

tds version = 8.0
I changed "tds version" from 5.0 to 0.82. I did not touch the "[gloabl]" and
"[egServer70]".


Now that I use

python setup.py build_ext -D HAVE_FREETDS -U WANT_BULKCOPY

to install, I still get

"Please define the Sybase installation directory in the SYBASE environment
variable."

What did I miss? any more suggestions?

Thanks again.

export SYBASE=/usr
python setup.py build_ext -D HAVE_FREETDS -U WANT_BULKCOPY -I/usr/include/freetds

This worked for me.  



Steering you towards freetds may have been a mistake.  I had no idea
that client software from sybase.com was an option.

My Ubuntu (9.4) provides python-pymssql which claims to work with both
sybase and mssql servers.  (I'm using it for mssql so I can't vouch for
sybase effectiveness.
