I’m having problems to automatically startup Sybase on Linux (but I have the same problems under OSX):  
if I try to start servoy\_repository with dbsrv9 command, servoy\_server refuse to startup. Could you write me the exact syntax to startup all the database servoy server needs? I have to deliver my first Servoy Box this afternoon, and I’d like to solve this problem.

At the moment, the only way to make things work is to start servoy developer, close it (Sybase remains open) and then launch Servoy Server.

Any help appreciated ![:-)]( "Smile")

on Linux:

-set an environment variable LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH to point to your sybase\_db directory  
-In your main Servoy directory type:  
sybase\_db/dbsrv9 @sybase\_db/sybase.config

on Mac:

-set an environment variable DYLD\_LIBRARY\_PATH to point to your sybase\_db directory  
-In your main Servoy directory type:  
sybase\_db/dbsrv9 @sybase\_db/sybase.config
