Hi,

Thanks for your responce.
You are right.
The source installation media was for sun-solaries.
I have downloaded media for sun-solaries and linux into same directory. That is created a problem. I was trying install informix using sun-solaries media on linux platform.

After taking correct installation media, It went through installation process.

Thanks
