Re: DBD::Sybase context allocation routine failed

Hi,
Is there a way to determine which libraries the DBI/DBD used when it was installed? This information is not in perl -V. There are several different SYBASE home directories on this server each with sub-directories for ASE or OCS versions. (I didn't install it -- I assume that this can be configured somehow in the makefile or otherwise when installing.)
I am now getting a more specific error message when I set SYBASE to OCS. The dba says that this config file, 'objectid/dat', is used by ASE not OCS.

Your DBA is wrong... :-)

/The context allocation routine failed. The following problem caused the failure: Invalid context version. The context allocation routine failed when it tried to load localization files!! One or more following problems may caused the failure Your sybase home directory is /home/sybase/OCS-12_5. Check the environment variable SYBASE if it is not the one you want! Cannot access file /home/sybase/OCS-12_5/config/objectid.dat/


OK - so now the problem is that your SYBASE env variable points to /home/sybase/OCS-12_5. If that directory does include the Sybase libs then SYBASE should point to /home/sybase, so that it finds /home/sybase/config/objectid.dat.
