Hi, My setup Redhat Linux v8 Informix Online dbaccess 5.20.UC1 IBM INFORMIX-4GL Version 7.32.UC1 (i4gl) INFORMIXDIR is set to /opt/informix TBCONFIG=tbconfig.eng INFORMIXSERVER=onlineDBSERVERNAME=online INFORMIXSQLHOSTS=$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts.eng /opt/informix/etc/tbconfig.eng ------------------------------ DBSERVERNAME online NETTYPE soctcp,1,60,NET sqlhosts.eng ------------- online onsoctcp linux sqlexec /etc/services ------------- sqlexec 1542/tcp /etc/hosts ---------- 127.0.0.1 linux localhost.localdomain localhost I have been fiddling with this setup for three days now, and my files are still not compiling: When running dbaccess I am able to create a database with tables no problem. BUT When trying to compile a .4gl file with c4gl -c filename.4gl I get the following error message: Attempt to connect to database server (online) failed. See error number -908 I am stumped. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance, Du Toit Scheepers

Hi Neil, I do not seem to have a file called sqlexecd anywhere on my machine. Is I-STAR related to the tcp comms? Any idea where I can find the I-STAR tool? Thanks for your reply, Du Toit
