Check Sybase installation

Hi,
How do i check if Sybase is installed on aix..The sybase guy is doing remote installation and i need to check if he has installed sybase or not.
ive tried the following approaches.

Code:
#lslpp -L "*Sybase*"  # tried other strings like "*ybase*" , "*base*"
#lslpp -ha |grep syb  # tried Sybase, syb, etc

i dint find any results.

What is the base fileset for Sybase? is there any other way to figure this thing out. m an amateur. so pls help people.

I would ask the person what path they are installing sybase in, and then look to see if the files are there.

But that defeats my motive. Is there any other way besides asking the db guy? isnt there a base fileset for sybase?

Unfortunately that depends. It depends on whether Sybase uses an installer to install its software. AIX supports at least three different installers but even IBM does not supply all of its software as packages. Quite often you end up with a tar file that is dumped somewhere or a Java installation routine and if you did not keep the archive or traced the process of dumping into a file you are left there with no means to find out quickly which files were placed where.

Btw. to simply test whether Sybase was installed or not you could just try to start the DB. (Given that you know which user / what environment to use.)
