Seems InformixHQ doesn't like me
I'm having difficulties getting IDS 14.10 Innovator-C installed on my raspberry pi. I was using my raspberry pi as a learning device to get InformixHQ installed at work. Unfortunately I got no where fast on the raspberry pi so am plowed ahead a worked on a ubuntu server. I checked I'm on the 32-bit raspberry pi os. uname -m armv7l All the post online said to use the ARM 32-bit version. So I downloaded ibm.ids.14.10.UC5.ARMV7.tar. I've tried running as informx and root. I get same error and haven't found anything on the parameter using the -d32 when searching online. pi@raspberrypi:/tmp/ifxinstall $ sudo su - informix informix@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /tmp/ifxinstall/ informix@raspberrypi:/tmp/ifxinstall $ ./ids_install Preparing to install Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive... Configuring the installer for this system's environment... Launching installer... Unrecognized option: -d32 Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. I found that option in the ids_install file, but know idea what that used for. grep d32 ids_install INSTALLER_OPTIONAL_ARGS="-d32" Any one have any suggestions.

Should you only be after HQ, pick it from any Linux (or other platform) installation you might have anywhere. It's a couple of .jar files plus sample property files that aren't platform specific at all. Else this is going to be an installer debug adventure on your pi. ------------------------------ Andreas Legner ------------------------------
I believe I finally figured out what was causing my install problem on my raspberry pi. It seems the current default java installed with the raspberryOS is openjdk-11 and the installer doesn't work with that version. So you need to download openjdk-8 and then make it the default. You could probably switch back and use the jrv installed by Informix if need v8. So I did these steps: sudo apt-get update - make sure you have the latest list of apps sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk - get version 8 java -version - verify it installed correctly sudo update-alternatives --config java - use this cmd to switch the default – select v8 as default john
