Hi all. IDS 9.21 running fine on Linux RedHat 7.3 box. Now, I try to install a test instance running IDS 9.40 on the same box. oninit -i fails due to a problem with the /var/lib/libpthread.so.0 library. So I stop the 9.21 instance, rename the library adding ".nouse" to his name, and restart the 9.21 instance. Now, oninit -i runs fine to initialize the 9.40 test instance. And the 9.21 instance is still OK after a few hours of work. My question: is the following link really usefull for the 9.21 instance: /var/lib/libpthread.so.0 -> usr/informix/lib/libifxpthread.so ? Thank you, Philippe

The /var/lib/libpthread.so.0 link is not needed if your 9.21 instance find RedHat's i686 version of libpthread: $ ldd $INFORMIXDIR/bin/oninit ... libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 ...
