Hello,
I install Informix Dynamic Server and when I initialize 'oninit -iv' :
This action will initialize Informix Dynamic Server;
any existing Informix Dynamic Server databases will NOT be accessible

Oo, been a long time since I've seen this one. Notice the line:
Creating /INFORMIXTMP/.infxdirs ... FAILED
This directory and must exist and must be permissioned as follows:
drwxrwxrwt 2 root informix 4096 Jul 12 07:58 /INFORMIXTMP
Create the directory and try the oninit again.
