Author Unable to start Sybase 12.5.2 and 15 on Solaris machines

Hi ,

I have installed Sybase 12.5 and 15 on two of my lab machines some time
before.
But now the sybase servers are stopped.
When i tried to start the server by giving ./startserver
(/opt/sybase/ASE-12_5/install), i am getting an error saying "Cannot
execute file RUN_SYBASE".

I have logged into the machine as sybase user.
Iam getting this error frequently.
Could any one please suggest me any solution and also how can I
configure sybase such that Sybase server must be automatically up and
running when we restart the machine...?

When i used the above command, i got a error saying "Could not find
user 'sybase' or SYBASE environment variable"

What must I do...?
Please suggest me what to do?
Do we have any manuals for trobleshooting these type of errors?

In the directory where the software is installed there is probably a
script called SYBASE.sh

First do
. SYBASE.sh
and then the startserver stuf

well, the obvious things are, do an ls -l to make sure
RUN_SYBASE is there, you have permissions to it, etc.

Then check the actual command. Are you doing this?
startserver -f RUN_SYBASE&
