Hi Rodion,

Is this recent installation ?.
What happend if you run oninit -V ?

Gustavo.

It appears to me that there is a discrepancy between the library names.

Informix is looking to access the shared object in /usr/informix/mylib, whereas your LD_LIBRARY_PATH thinks the Informix root is /usr/informix/lib

Without knowing the difference between ../lib and ../mylib, or how you have things installed, it still looks fishy that those don't match...

Also, and forgive me if this is a stupid question: Do you have an Informix Client SDK loaded on the box? That's where those libraries are supposed to come from, AFAIK. And that has ramifications for your compile and link process with your C or other application code that will want to access the DB (i.e. have to specify compile and link include options to pull in Informix API's).

Hope this helps.

-Joe

Yes, recent
