For me DBD-Sybase compiles straight out of the box as long as I export
the following environment variables:
SYBASE_OCS=OCS-12_5
SYBASE=/Applications/Sybase/System
Then it's a simple perl Makefile.pl && make && make install
There should be no need to tinker with the makefile.

OK, it works but you have to work out where are the libraries.

did nasty things by linking /usr/lib/libct.. to the real thing plus
some issues with the DYLD_LYBRARY_PATH.
Now you still need to set DYLD_LYBRARY_PATH but they have changed the
library names.
libct is now libsybct, libcs is libsybcs, etc.
Since setting EXTRA_LIBS was not enough I changed line 119 in
Makefile.PL
$lib_string = "-L$SYBASE/lib -lsybct -lsybcs -lsybtcl
-lsybcomn -lsybintl $extra -ldl -lm";
I rather prefer to do this instead of adding something in $extra since
there is still libtcl in
/usr/lib
I changed checkLib as well so it looks for libsybct.
It seems that Sybase is showing some interest in Mac OS X. Why do they
change the names of the libraries?
Previous releases used the old standard. Anyway, it works. Nicely.
