Re: Accessing the wrong *.bld file when registering opaque types
It's really strange, because I cannot think why it would be looking for the
Exec Bladelet.
I cannot find any references to the Exec Bladelet (exec.bld) any where in
our code.
Does informix try to load the Exec Bladelet automatically for certain types
or something. Thing is we don't ever have this exec.bld file, but this
only seems to happen after an install.
It's really confusing.

It sounds like it's looking for the Exec Bladelet, which is downloadable
from the iiug.org website and ibm.com's developerworks....
