You haven't got your environment set up properly yet, which is unfortunate; this should have been resolved during the install process. Which C compiler do you use? You should consider setting FGLCC, CC and INFORMIXC before doing much else unless you are using the default cc compiler. On SCO, I think you tend to be using icc or rcc (or gcc, of course). Next, you need to run the findlib.sh script in $FGLDIR/bin. Before yoo do that, you need to ensure that your environment is set up so that you can compile ESQL/C programs successfully. You may need to set the FGLDBS environment variable to ix711 (denoting a 7.x product). This should create envf4gl and envf4gl.csh for you. You can check whether that references -lfesql or not -- it shouldn't -- in the FGLLIBSQL variables. Assuming that is fixed, you can then establish the correct environment by 'source envf4gl.csh' or '. envf4gl'. After that, your fglmkrun should work. I wasn't aware that running it with no arguments did the build in $FGLDIR; I assumed you needed to do: fglmkrun -o fglrun $FGLDIR/lib/fglExt.c General tip: before you install D4GL, ensure that you have a working ESQL/C development environment set up. If you can't compile and run a program such as the following, then you need to fix up your environment until you can. This might mean installing the GCC from the CD. The envgcc.sh script which is generated will clobber your SHELL variable (as does the default envf4gl script -- I edit mine to leave SHELL alone), but will tell GCC where to find its support files. You should set INFORMIXC=$GCC if you use this; the main D4GL install won't work unless you do so. It might also mean installing an ESQL/C Development system, or an I4GL development system (it can use the compilers from the I4GL c-code system instead of ESQL/C, though the compilation below would then use c4gl in place of esql). $ cat >kk.ec <<! > int main(void) > {> EXEC SQL WHENEVER ERROR STOP; > EXEC SQL CREATE DATABASE obscure; > EXEC SQL CLOSE DATABASE; > EXEC SQL DROP DATABASE obscure; > return 0; > } > ! $ esql -o kk kk.ec $ ./kk $ Yours, Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com) #include <witticism.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.59 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN Informix IDN for D4GL & Linux -- http://www.informix.com/idn
