Re: Install CSDK and other Packages
Hello Thomas, I tried to use the same link that you have given me below, and it works just fine. I do not have a Slackware 9.1 system at my end, but I am pretty that this not so much to do with the system, but more to do with the download, and the file that you have. Also maybe the method you are using to extract. Just ensure that the file you downloaded is complete, and you did not face a network broken issue. The size of my download is -- 69498880 Oct 16 08:59 clientsdk.2.81.UC2.LINUX.tar Follow the following steps -- 1. extract the above tar file using -- tar xvf clientsdk.2.81.UC2.LINUX.tar this should result in one cpio - csdk.cpio and one doc directory. 2. extract the cpio using -- cpio -icvdumB < csdk.cpio This results in the following files - clientsdkcontent.cpio, gls.cpio, installclientsdk, install_gls, install_msg, message.cpio YOU DO NOT NEED TO EXTRACT THESE OTHER CPIO FILES. Just install the product using installclientsdk after having the INFORMIXDIR set. 3. set the INFORMIXDIR, and use %./installcliendsdk as super user, to install the product. I do not see the errors that you are seeing. Please ensure that there is enough space on your TMP (typically /tmp). The installation at my end goes on fine. Just make sure that the file size is OK, and the download did not end prematurely. Also, try using the above command to extract the cpio file. Remember the other cpio like message.cpio, gls.cpio need not be extracted. The installation does it on its own. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you still face some issues. Yes, just as a consolation, this product does address the errno problem, (only after you get it to install though! ) .

I used the "IBM Informix Client Software Development Kit (CSDK) for Linux," "Linux xSeries Intel-based SVR (PCs), SCO OpenUnix 8." The link (sorry about the length) is: http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/preconfig.jsp?id=2002-12-16+16%3A21%3A39.260871C&cat=&fam=&s=z&S_TACT=__S_TACT__&S_CMP=__S_CMP__ The system is Slackware 9.1, kernel 2.4.22, GCC 3.2.3 -- the downloaded file, an uncompressed(!) tar file is 63,354,880 bytes. I'm wondering if I have to upgrade from IDS 7.30.UC5? All I'm really trying to do is get the correct library versions to support the new release of the gcc compiler. Thanks, Thomas sending to informix-list
