The answers you've received from the list tell you to look for the esql file in $INFORMIXDIR/bin and the script you are running looks for esql in $INFORMIXDIR/bin..... I think you can answer this one with the information you have at hand. >I tried linking lib/esql/esqlc to bin/esql and re-running the >above command, and got: > >esqlc: Error -33004: Option '-libs' does not exist or has bad format. > >Something ain't right..... My guess is that the install of Informix SQL either went sour or someone deleted your esql file from $INFORMIXDIR/bin. Another possibility is that $INFORMIXDIR has been changed. Do a find / -name 'esql' -print to locate the file and see if that directory contains the other $INFORMIXDIR/bin files as well. ><mars1972@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:8ioink$pe8$1@nnrp1.deja.com... >> Did you go physically look for the executable? cd to $INFORMIXDIR/bin >> and ls esqlc.
