Andreas ------------ Build a patched libpthread.so (see attached libifxpthread-glibc225.patch) using following steps as user root: # cp libifxpthread-glibc225.patch /tmp Install kernel headers (Debian 3.0r1 official binary CD #6): # apt-cdrom # apt-get install kernel-headers compile glibc sources (Debian 3.0r1 official source CD #1): # apt-cdrom # mkdir source # cd source # apt-get --compile source glibcPatch the glibc sources: # cd glibc-2.2.5/glibc-2.2.5/linuxthreads # cat /tmp/libifxpthread-glibc225.patch | patch -bCompile libpthread.so: # cd ../../i386-linux/obj # make Install libifxpthread.so.4: # export INFORMIXDIR=/opt/informix (example, IDS 9.40 directory) # cp linuxthreads/libpthread.so $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libifxpthread.so.4 # chown informix:informix $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libifxpthread.so.4 # chmod 755 $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libifxpthread.so.4 # ln -s $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libifxpthread.so.4 /var/lib/libpthread.so.0Check oninit for right path to libpthread.so.0: # ldd $INFORMIXDIR/bin/oninit libpthread.so.0 => /var/lib/libpthread.so.0
