I'd choose the J version. Most likely if they are the same, then either they replicated it, or if they are supposed to be the same, but are not, then they probably goofed on something small like in a deployment detail, and they rewrap'd it... > From: neil.truby@ardenta.com > Subject: Re: IDS 11.50.xC6 is out... > Date: Fri, 1 Jan 2010 12:35:15 +0000 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > > "Fernando Nunes" <domusonline@gmail.com> wrote in message > news:hhe6h3$ea1$1@news.eternal-september.org... > > Hello, > > > > IDS version 11.50.xC6 is currently available. > > It has become usual for these fixpacks to bring a lot of new > > functionality, besides the usual bug fixing. > > On PPA there are 2 downloads for each version: > > Informix Dynamic Server Enterprise Edition V11.50.UC6 Linux x86 > English(CZ6QJEN) - View details > Informix Dynamic Server Enterprise Edition V11.50.UC6 Linux X86 > English(CZ79IEN) - View details > > Informix Dynamic Server Enterprise Edition V11.50.FC6 Linux x86 64 Bit > English(CZ6QKEN) - View details > Informix Dynamic Server Enterprise Edition V11.50.FC6 Linux X86 64 > English(CZ79JEN) - View details > > Any which is the correct one to download for each version, or what the > differences are?

Tried the "J" one. "The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf (104)" I've said this before, but it absolutely *amazes* me why they have to complicate these installs for everyine with Javashite. Off to spend a couple of hours trying to debug the wizard.inf message now ... :-(

Hello Neil, maybe stuff in http://groups.google.nl/group/comp.databases.informix/browse_thread/thread/dd639df6a874b562/b7dbc6f34dc7bdac?lnk=gst&q=superboer+install#b7dbc6f34dc7bdac helps. i had a major headache trying to install it finally i installed a 'proper' java version. i also had to runit with -debug as in the install script found out that the debug info was in /tmp/informix/ had to create some sym links to libs which the installer could not find.... -->> Fernando, i guess its file a bug time... OR better get the old scripts back not java install. Java is owned by obstacle nowadays so why sponsor the competition. Superboer.

Try to run the install with --java-home=none and you may have to add --console on some systems. Art Art S.

The typical problemwith the installation relates to the fact that some Linuxes don't bring a "proper" Java. This "proper" of course has to be put into quotes. I believe it's "open-jdk". And this has some known issues. If you don't have Java installed it will use a JRE bundled in the package. As of yet I didn't know of other way to force this besides the dirty trick of "mv /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/java.ori". Art has another solution that I don't know if it was introduced in this fixpack (check his post please). As for the filling of a bug there are two problems: 1- I don't have access to it (some IBMers posting here may have). 2- If you're not following the pre-requisites it would not be accepted (like if you're installing in a non-supported Linux flavour, or if the requirements reference a standard JRE for example (I didn't check it...) Regards and good testing for xC6.
