I'm hoping someone else here is a perl programmer and knows<BR>what might be going on here.<BR><BR>The situation:<BR><BR>Using Linux (RH7.2) to run a perl (5.6.1) program that connects to MS<BR>SQLServer2000, using the DBD::Sybase (0.94) API, which in turn calls the<BR>FreeTDS API to talk to SQL Server.<BR><BR>This solution works fine on a RH6.2 box but for some reason on the new box,<BR>whenever I execute a DBI->connect(), I get a segmentation fault and a core<BR>dump.<BR>I have tried downgrading the DBD and FreeTDS versions to older revs just to<BR>see if that helps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the FreeTDS libraries<BR>as well as the DBD::Sybase module...<BR><BR>This is a very mission critical system and I'm gonna be up all night on<BR>this, so if anyone has a clue for me I'd be forever grateful.<BR><BR>Here's the line of code that breaks it:<BR><BR>**********************************************<BR>my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Sybase:massive','xxxx','xxxx') || die "Couldn't<BR>open database $DBI::errstr; stopped";<BR>**********************************************<BR><BR>Here's a tidbit of the DBI->trace(3) that may help:<BR><BR>***********************************************<BR>DBI 1.20-nothread dispatch trace level set to 3<BR> -> DBI->connect(DBI:Sybase:massive, sa, ****)<BR> -> DBI->install_driver(Sybase) for linux perl=5.006001 pid=25926 ruid=0<BR>euid=0<BR>123 syb_init() -> DBD::Sybase 0.93 initialized<BR>@a OpenClient version: ¨<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>CLUE-Tech mailing list<BR>CLUE-Tech@clue.denver.co.us<BR>http://clue.denver.co.us/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
