Choice: Error 27001 or 23101

764163 Hi Family. I have just ported my company application to a new machine: OS: AIX-4.2 Engine: IDS 7.24.UC5 Tools: 4GL/RDS 7.20.UD1 SInce the client app is on the same machine as the server, I set INFORMIXSERVER to the shared-memory connection. The compiles went OK and I can connect to the database via dbaccess. This shows me there is not inherent problem with the database connection. Now I try to run an application using fglgo yada.. It does nothing for about 17 seconds (I timed it) and then pops up the error message: Program stopped at "hello.4gl", line number 0. 4GL run-time error number -27001. Read error occurred during connection attempt. BTW, hello is a 5 line program just to isolate this problem. To experiment, I tried setting INFORMIXSERVER to the socket connection. I got: Program stopped at "hello.4gl", line number 0. 4GL run-time error number -23101. Unable to load locale categories. Duuhhhh??? I have set no locale-related environment variables! Why should it be looking for any locale info? This happens in the debugger as well, after I give the RUN command. I have checked the installation - fglgo has the correct permission settings; unlike the engines they do not need to have the set-uid or set-gid flags set. -rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 1364760 Aug 05 16:09 fgldb -rwxr-xr-x 1 informix informix 1217064 Aug 05 16:25 fglgo Any ideas on what might be causing this? I have looked into ONCONFIG settings but if anything were wrong there, I could not connect via dbaccess; nor could the compilers have run.
