A port would be relatively simple to make (and I'll probably do one in time), but given the current state of the license I'm not sure it would be good form to have it officially in the ports collection. Basically... The linux_lib-2.4 port won't cut it, you need a ld-linux.so.2 and a newer libc (at least, I have not nailed down exactly what is needed). As root you unpack the distribution using rpm2cpio. It expects to be in /opt/sybase and opt/sybase is in the filnames in the rpm file. Create a sybase user (home directory /opt/sybase) and group. As root, run the /opt/sybase/install/setperm_all, this fixes all the file ownership an permissions in the sybase tree. Log in as sybase...it will automagically run the sybinit program to setup a database. OR, run /opt/sybase/install/sybint manually after setting the environment variables appropriately (see ~sybase/.profile). -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
