When performing installs on Fedora Core 6 you may run into the error below.
dependency error:
libsybdb.so.4 needed by package dsmphp
The problem is a conflicting freetds package within the Fedora extras reposistory. You can do one of two things to complete the install.
1. Add the below line to the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo
exclude=freetds freetds-devel
2. Run the command:
yum clean all
Update!
Same error shows up under Centos 5 systems:
dependency error:
libsybdb.so.5 needed by package dsmphp
Fix:
1. Run: yum clean all
2. Download latest RHEL 5 or Centos 5 rpm packages for: freetds, freetds-devel and unixODBC
and install them.
3. Run the installer again!
