Hi RATHER. Probably this is a rpm bug. Upgrade your rpm or use rpm for Redhat 7.3 (rpm Version 4.0.4). OR Search google. I do not test, but how about the following ? Use rpm2cpio, un-rpm to /opt/informix. Move /opt/informix to your targer directory. Execute installonline. Regards. -- Tsutomu Ogiwara from Tokyo Japan.
