You have not connected your app to a DB adapter.

There are two ways around this:

(1)	create a Makefile.preamble which contains:

		LDFLAGS = -u libdbkit_s -u libNeXT_s -u libsys_s

	The adapter is loaded dynamically at run time.
	This method may cause grief when moving to another computer,
	especially if they don't have the adapter.
	This is how we did it until bitten at the client's machine.

(2)	add SybaseAdapter.adapter under libraries
	(this is located in /NextLibrary/Adapters)
	Doing this makes your app larger but you'll be sure to have it.
	This is the way we currently do it.
