SQL Anywhere has not been officially tested on Ubuntu 8.0.4, but it
should (for the most part, see below) just work. For information about
which Linux distributions we test and our support philosophy for SQL
Anywhere on Linux please see: http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1035824

That being said, the SQL Anywhere installer is broken on Ubuntu 8.0.4
due to a behaviour change of the cut utility included in coreutils 6.9.
We will fix the install and repost the download of the developer edition
in the near future. In the mean time, you can fix the install yourself
by following the procedure below.

1. Open the "setup" script at the root of the install with your favorite
text editor.

2. Find all lines containing the "cut" command that use the "-f"
argument.

3. For all such lines if a comma immediately follows the "-f", remove
this comma.

For example, the line:
OS_REL_1=`echo $OS_REL | cut -d. -f,1`

should become:
OS_REL_1=`echo $OS_REL | cut -d. -f1`

Let me know if you are still having problems
