The context allocation routine failed when it tried to load localization files!!

One or more following problems may caused the failure

 

Your sybase home directory is /opt/sybase12. Check the environment variable SYBASE if it is not the one you want!

Using locale name "en_US.UTF-8" defined in environment variable LANG

Locale name "en_US.UTF-8" doesn't exist in your /opt/sybase12/locales/locales.dat file

An error occurred when attempting to allocate localization-related structures.

 

 

Solution:

Add proper line look like below line to file /opt/sybase12/locales/locales.dat

[linux]

        locale = en_US.UTF-8, us_english, iso_1

 

5. follow the Sybase document install a Sybase server and publish interfaces file
