I have found that this package seems to be empty on other machines that have
been upgraded to 3.0 thus causing the error.  However, it exists on the 3.0
CD-ROM, I think in the /NextCD directory.  So erase
/NextLibrary/Packages/ThirdParty to avoid future confusion (after looking
inside the package to verify that it's empty :-)

This package contains only the Sybase client library and related stuff.  To run
Sybase, a second package, Sybase_SQL_Server-limited.pkg (or the unlimited
version) must be available.  This was distributed with NeXTSTEP 1.0 with a free
upgrade to a NS 2.0 version (which works fine under 3.0).

If you don't have the server package, then you must license it from Sybase.
The limited (~5 simultaneous client-server connections maximum) version used to
sell for around $600.
