I am a linux newbie and a informix dba newbie, so I am sorry about my stupid questions " ;) I need to know the pre-requisites and how to install Kagel's dostats in RH linux 7.3 with informix dynamic server . I am having a problem with update statistics and my research in internet tells me that it probably can be solved by this application. Please if you can send a step by step installation ... Thank you all for your attention, Daniel Castro

Make sure you have the C development environment installed on your machine. You need cc or gcc; you also need make. Without those, you will get nowhere. Make sure you have the Informix Client SDK installed, so you can compile ESQL/C programs. You should ideally ensure it works before trying to build dostats - but if you're a newbie you probably don't have a convenient simple test program to ensure that CSDK (ESQL/C) does work. Download the source from the IIUG web site -- utils2_ak.gz. Unpack the source in a new, empty directory. It is a gzipped shell archive, so you do 'gzip -cd utils2_ak.gz | sh' (or you can use ksh or bash - I doubt if C shell will work). Check the contents of Makefile. Run: make dostats Copy dostats to a convenient bin directory on your PATH. Maybe install drive_dostats too. Use it. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
