Re: esql/c compilation problem

This is not a bug and Informix is not doing anything wrong, it is simply caused by the fact that you are, in fact, using shared libraries. The proper method to fix this without recompilation is to add the line: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $INFORMIXDIR/lib:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:/usr/lib to your .cshrc (for c shell) use appropriate syntax for other shells. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is used by Unix to locate shared libraries which reside in directories other than the default shared library locations (whatever _they_ are). This env variable can _not_ be set by the application (as with a putenv()) as it is used _before_ program execution to load the image into memory (this can be a problem with CGI apps). -john On 4 Apr 1997 08:27:26 -0500, JEAN-FRANCOIS_LE-CARRE-PETIT@Non-HP-France-om4.om.hp.com wrote: >Hello , > >I have a problem in execution of an esql/c program in Informix Online 7.13 >UC3.
