This involves IDS 94 installation on XP64. C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Informix>oninit -iy gls function get_mt_locale failed, error -23101 C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Informix>set | find /I "locale" CLIENT_LOCALE=EN_US.CP1252 DB_LOCALE=EN_US.8859-1SERVER_LOCALE=EN_US.CP1252 The log has this: 12:56:27 Maximum server connections 0 12:56:27 Dataskip is now OFF for all dbspaces 12:56:27 On-Line Mode 12:56:27 Building 'sysmaster' database ... 12:56:40 Assert Failed: build_smi failed 12:56:40 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 9.40.TC2 12:56:40 Who: Session(9, informix@SixFore, 0, 00000000) Thread(15, build_smi, 0, 1) File: rspseudo.c Line: 7873 12:56:40 Results: Cannot build/check 'sysmaster' database 12:56:40 stack trace for pid 2344 written to C:\\tmp\\af.3f769e8 12:56:40 See Also: C:\\tmp\\af.3f769e8, shmem.3f769e8.0 12:56:43 Releasing server from system block 12:56:47 build_smi failed 12:56:48 build_smi failed Is the locale the root of the problem? Or is it just another 64-bit headache? :0{

If it's different to a 32-bit system this could be why you're having problems. As I've never tried running IDS on a 64-bit system I don't know whether this is the problem or whether you can get around this. Even if you can, is this configuration supported? Ben.
