Yet another problem with a Linux product under NetBSD.  Too bad we can't
get decent NetBSD commerical apps.  :-(

This time, I tried the Linux port of Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise,
version 11.0.3.3, under NetBSD, in the hopes that I can replace some of
our overpriced Solaris Sparc stations, running both Sybase and Oracle
applications, with cheap NetBSD ix86 machines.

The Linux Sybase was contained within a AuSE Linux CDROM, and was in
the horrible RPM format.  I run "rpm2cpio" on it, and converted it to
a cpio archive, which I expanded from the root directory, expanding all
of its contents into "/opt/sybase", with the exception of a few
documentation files that were installed else where.  After that, I
ran the "install.sh" script, and to be on the safe side, I did a
"chown -R sybase.sybase /opt/sybase" to insure that the server has all
the necessary permissions.  After that I ran the "install/sybinit"
program, and configured a new server, as discribed in the
"howto-ase-quickstart.html" documentation file.  The configuration
went through perfectly, but after I attempted to:

	"Execute the SQL Server Configuration now"

I get many errors which I've attached to the end of this e-mail.  Has
anyone else managed to get Sybase to run under NetBSD ix86?  Any
comments or advice is greatly appreciated.  BYW, I will be attempted to
run Linux Oracle today.  Wish me luck, it looks like I might need it.
Thanks in advance.  Sincerely, Alicia.

PS. Below is an except from the sybase logs:
