Memory down and shared memory not initialized

I compiled utils2_ak. When executing printFreeB I got a message the library libifsql.so could not be found. So I put the lines below in /etc/ld.so.conf and exectued ldconfig. /opt/informix/lib /opt/informix/lib/c++ /opt/informix/lib/cli /opt/informix/lib/csm /opt/informix/lib/dmi /opt/informix/lib/esql /opt/informix/lib/client /opt/informix/lib/client/csm After this action, fprintFreeB ran but with the error '25588: cannot connect to the database'. And now when I run oncheck or other commandline utilities I get the error: shared memory not initialized for INFORMIXSERVER 'abba6' Error writing to network Abnormal end !!! onstat - gives status online: IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 11.10.FC3 -- On-Line -- Up 158 days 20:06:08 -- 7383472 Kbyte Only connections through shared memory fail, the onsoctcp connections succeed. Is this problem a consequence of the ldconfig I executed? And how could I fix this?

You only need $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql & $INFORMIXDIR/lib in the ld..so.conf in that order, though I usually just place those paths into the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable instead of running ldconfig. Fixing this should repair the shared memory connections. You are just getting the wrong version of one of the connection libraries. Art Art S.

Hello, I really appreciate your help with all my problems. Thanks a lot. I however cannot seems to fix the shared memory problem. I've configured $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql and $INFORMIXDIR/lib in the ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig, but the problem remains. Every commandline tool returns an error (shared memory not set, of network down). What is also strange, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable was never set on this server. It seems I'm missing some other configuration parameter. I'm out of ideas :(

Open a support case with IBM. Art On Apr 23, 2012 7:36 AM, "RAPHAëL GODART" <raf.godart@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I really appreciate your help with all my problems. Thanks a lot.

I cant see why - but to be sure comment them out and run ldconfig again - does that fix it? I suspect you have just got the wrong INFORMIXSERVER set pointing at a network only connection -- Clive On 23/04/2012 11:26, RAPHAëL GODART wrote: > I compiled utils2_ak.
