I've downloaded all three free Linux packages. I have SE running perfectly. I ran the install script on each package. Now I want to try ESQL/C. When I try to run the demo, I get this error: --------------- Creating stores7 database ... ./bin/esqldemo7: /mnt/opt/informix/LINUX_se_bundle724UC5/SE/demo/esqlc/mkstores: No such file or directory ---------------- Obviously I did something wrong. This is the directory tree: /opt/informix/LINUX_se_bundle724UC5> ls ESQLC ICONNECT README.TXT README.UNX SE Any ideas? -Ben -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum
