Environment : rails 1.2.6 , ruby 1.8.6 , Windows xp  
I tried to use the command (gem install activerecord-sybase-adapter)  
to install my adapter, but I got this error message.

“database configuration specifies nonexistent sybase adapter  
(ActiveRecord::AdapterNotFound)”

Then, I try to follow this article in  
[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/SybaseASEonWin32](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/SybaseASEonWin32)  
and download sybase-ctlib file.  
Now I want to setup the build script but I don’t know how to modify  
it.  
I dont’ want to use [VS.NET](http://VS.NET) 2003/2005. Can I delete te following  
command lines?

rem [VS.NET](http://VS.NET) 2003  
rem set VC=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7

rem [VS.Net](http://VS.Net) 2005  
set VC=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC

My Sybase ASE 12.5 was installed on a remote computer. How to modify  
it?

rem ASE 12.5  
set SYBASE=?  
set OSC=OCS-12\_5  
set LIBS=libct.lib libcs.lib

Thanks for any hint!

Regard,
