no, if there is no gda-sybase-x.x.xx.rpm file, we didn't compile it, so
it's better if you get the sources and compile them 'by hand'. The
source tarball includes the sybase provider.

that file (~/.gnome/gdalib) is no longer used since we moved to a
GConf-based configuration, so no matter what you enter there, it won't
work. Just compile the source tarball, and then, use the gnome-db front
end to create the new data source (Manager->New DSN). This will start a
wizard which will let you create the data source without having to write
the file by hand.

maybe you're missing the -devel packages of gnome-print and libgda? or
maybe, you installed them in a different prefix than the rest of GNOME?
If so, you'll have to be sure printConf.sh is in /usr/lib and gda-config
is in your path.
