dbexport on RH7.0

Hi, any solutions for the nearly well-known problem ? >> Cannot make dbexport directory << but a dbexport directory is made but left empty... Greets, Andi

Hi. This looks like RedHat7.0 specific problems. I had test Informix 7.30 on Redhat 6.0 and IIF-2000 on Mandrake 7.1 and 7.2 without any problems. Good luck. Sergey.

Try this patch for fileutils http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/jan_kasprzak/fileutils/ or use package from rawhide ftp://ftp.redhat.com/rawhide/SRPMS/SRPMS/fileutils-4.0.36-1.src.rpm

Hi, > ftp://ftp.redhat.com/rawhide/SRPMS/SRPMS/fileutils-4.0.36-1.src.rpm Thanks, it worked. I installed fileutils-4.0.36.rpm (as binary). Greets, Andi

The nitpicking details are that there are two bugs, one in Informix code and one in the fileutils code, and it requires both to get the bad behaviour. The Informix code is running the mkdir command with no stdin, stdout or stderr; the mkdir code is trying to close stdout and failing, and then reporting this as an error condition. Ugh!
