Either link your application with static libraries, (esql -static -libs will give the correct link order of INFORMIX libraries) or put the directory where the shared INFORMIX libraries into a file which the dynamic loader uses to find shared libraries (the name of the system file escapes me right now) -- its equivalent to SHLIB_PATH on other Unix boxes.

The libraries are in $INFORMIXDIR/lib or directories under there. ldd a.out should tell you which libraries cannot be found. -- David Williams
