This is not needed, 'make install' does this.

Sybase server does not work yet, it was just started and since then nothing

Well, apart from sending configure and make output, also do the following:
* run goad-browser and start from it the gda-odbc-srv
* ps ax | grep gda-odbc-srv -> returns the PID of gda-odbc-srv
* gdb gda-odbc-srv PID

Then, when you get the SIGSEGV signal, enter 'bt' in the gdb prompt and send
us the output produced.
