esql compile error. esql[952]: cc: not found.
On AIX, compiling any .ec file with esql failed with "esql[952]: cc: not found". The cause was that no compiler named 'cc' existed; the fix is to install a C compiler or set the INFORMIXC environment variable to the actual compiler name (e.g. gcc). That led to a second error, "gcc: `-b' must come at the start of the command line", because the esql script passes AIX xlc-specific flags. The advice was to copy $INFORMIXDIR/bin/esql, strip the -b option it passes to the compiler, and use that modified script (earlier in PATH or in place of the original). The poster didn't confirm the outcome.

I'm getting the esql[952]: cc: not found. error on AIX when trying to compile any *.ec program. Did a hello world and it gets the error Anyone have any ideas why or how to fix. Thanks, Dave

Two possibilities: 1) You don't have a C compiler. 2) You have a C compiler, but it's not called "cc". Solution to 1: Install a C compiler. Solution to 2: Set the INFORMIXC environment variable to the correct name of your C compiler. HTH, -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net

Now, I'm getting "gcc: `-b' must come at the start of the command line". And gcc is there an compiles the hello.c program just fine. Dave

Make a copy of $INFORMIXDIR/bin/esql and modify it to remove the -b option it's passing to $(CC). Then either put the new script earlier in your path or rename esql and replace it with your modified one. Art S.
