Is it possible that you do not have the Solaris Development Kit installed? Solaris comes with a brain dead C compiler by default which is only useful for linking a new kernel. Also if you are using GCC, which is common since it tends to be better that the Solaris SDK compiler anyway, know that the esql script uses cc by default. You either have to change the $INFORMIXDIR/bin/esql script or export the environment variable INFORMIXC=gcc to make it use gcc. I think that this is your problem because I just tried it again and had no problems compiling on Solaris using gcc. Art S. Kagel -
