Running the command 'strload' fixed the problem. I've found no reference to this in either the release notes or documentation. There were a couple of other problems, easily fixed: In the script 'installonline', the second thing it wants to do is to copy libifxaccel.a to /usr/lib - unfortunately, the machine is a /usr client and /usr is mounted read only. This I installed by hand. Another problem was with the attempt to set the group of this file to 'root' - doesn't look like there is a group root on a freshly loaded machine. I set it to group informix. --Paul Paul J Turner Sr. Scientific Programmer Center for Coastal and Land Margin Research Oregon Graduate Institute 20000 NW Walker Road PO Box 91000 Portland, OR 97291-1000
