I seem to remember the 7.30 manual states that installation order is unimportant, unlike previous versions. My guess would be something wrong with your environment variables, particularly INFORMIXDIR or PATH. But that's just a guess....

Oh -- and for those of you who are lazy non-GLS types, don't forget to set CLIENT_LOCALE and DB_LOCALE after you upgrade. They seem to be required now. That's an odd thing really -- we'd run a machine (now toasted) on 7.20 toolset without problems, and updated the tools on our main development box to 7.20, and did a build (sucessfully) yesterday. I come in this morning, and nothing works (no connects, no builds) until we fix the locale problem (-23101 IIRC). Go figure. -Richard
