RE: CSDK 2.90.UC3 on Solaris with IDS 10.00.FCx

Thanks Art, My question was directed more at why does installing 32bit client work when using CSDK_2.81 but not CSDK_2.90, your reply has prompted me to configure CSDK and IDS is a more recognised and supportable structure. :-) As an aside, the IDS and CSDK java install scripts fail when using "Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b05)" but work with "Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_06-b01)" Regards Colin There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't > Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 10:22:37 -0500> From: art@oninit.com> To: cjd_1955@hotmail.com> CC: informix-list@iiug.org> Subject: Re: CSDK 2.90.UC3 on Solaris with IDS 10.00.FCx> > Colin Dawson wrote:> > If I install CSDK 2.81.UC2R1 followed by IDS 10.00.FCx (without bundled CSDK), build the onconfig I can start an instance, no problems. If I install CSDK 2.90.UC3 then IDS 10.00.FCx I get an error during startup saying a message file could not be found, check INFORMIXDIR and/or DBLANG.
