Installing clientsdk.2.81.UC2

I experienced some difficulty installing clientsdk.2.81.UC2.LINUX.tar on a Slackware release 9.1 system with the GNU version of the cpio utility but have (finally) determined both the problem and the fix: Embedded in the install scripts is cpio -icdBum ... < $file These command line options do not work with GNU cpio (or, at least, GNU cpio version 2.5). Command line options that do work are cpio -idv ... < $file Attempting to execute installclientsdk without editing it and the install_gls, install_msg, and installesql scripts will result in strange (and inaccurate) error messages about being out of disk space in /tmp/install. After doing this I was able to install the upgrade (for GNU gcc 3.2.x) and ESQL/C programs now compile and execute as they should; i.e., no "errno" problems, no shared library problems. Hope this helps somebody. YMMV
