Re: INF4.1 -1 ERROR ?? problem

First of all, when you install Informix products, you do so as root, not informix (informix would not allow setting up the permissions needed on some of the files, which require root ownership with suid). Second of all, as the original poster stated, they are using a package-installation- script, which I doubt would be run as informix, more likely root or install.
