I installed SQL Anywhere 16. How to solve the following issue?

$ cat ~/.bashrc 
export SQLANYWHERE_HOME=/Applications/SQLAnywhere16/System
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SQLANYWHERE_HOME/lib64:$SQLANYWHERE_HOME/lib32:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DYLD_BIND_AT_LAUNCH=1
export PATH=$PATH:$SQLANYWHERE_HOME/bin64:$SQLANYWHERE_HOME/bin32


$ python3

This is because sqlanydb is looking for the 32-bit version of dbcapi.dll which is not installed if you've only installed the 64-bit version of SQLAny. Try reinstalling and selecting both versions.

Mike, thanks. I re-installed (run uninstall.sh from /Applications/SQLAnywhere16/), but it doesn't work. My system is Mac OS X 10.10.

Have you sourced the sa_config.sh file, which will be in:

./Applications/SQLAnywhere16/System/bin32/sa_config.sh

or somewhere similar to that?

$ cd /Applications/SQLAnywhere16/System/bin32/

$ pwd

/Applications/SQLAnywhere16/System/bin32

$ chmod +x sa_config.sh

$ ./sa_config.sh

It does not show any message. What should be in the output?

I'm not near a 'nix box at the moment, but I don't think there should be any output. What happens now if you try to import sqlanydb in the Python REPL?

$ chmod +x sa_config.sh

$ ./sa_config.sh

You can't execute it this way; this creates a new shell (environment), sets a bunch of environment variables, and then drops the environment, and so it has no effect. Use ". <path>/sa_config.sh". Note the space after the dot. This sets the environment variables in the current shell.

$ . /Applications/SQLAnywhere16/System/bin32/sa_config.sh

It seems to work. Mike and Graeme, thanks!

I have the same problem. I have sourced that .sh file and both 32 and 64 bit are installed and available in the path. Though it doesn't work. Any ideas? Mac os X 10.10

Did you execute the command in the way Graeme Perrow proposed?
