DBD::informix with esqlc 3.00 (x864_64)

Hi, I've been using dbd::informix with no problem, I just upgraded to IDS 11 and CSDK 3.0 and can;t install DBD::INFORMIX. (O.S.

You should be using esqlc_v6.ec, as you are undoubtedly aware. It smacks of a bug in the test code. I've been trying (occasionally) to get a new release out to fix up some issues in this area, but have run into some problems in another area. I may have to back out the changes in the other area and get a patch version out. If you're reasonably confident you can build and run esqlbasic from esqlbasic.ec for example, because you tried it), then revert to esqlc_v6.ec, suppress the test (DBD_INFORMIX_NO_ESQLTEST, IIRC), and try the build. If there are testing (or build) problems, get back to me.

I set DBD_INFORMIX_NO_ESQLTEST=YES and then the 'perl Makefile.PL' finish OK with this ... <Notice> Because DBD_INFORMIX_NO_ESQLTEST is set in your environment, you have chosen not to run the test which verifies that your ESQL/C setup will allow DBD::Informix to compile and the tests to run. </Notice> Then make, make install and everything seems fine Thanks Jonathan, PS. If you need a volunteer to test a new DBD::Informix CSDK3-aware you can count on me.
