Problems installing Informix csdk on linux 11.04 64 bit
Joe could not install CSDK 3.50.FC4 on 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04; the installer printed 'Extracting Bundled JRE' and exited. Art Kagel suggested console mode, which gave the same result. Andreas Breitfeld said 3.50.FC4 is not certified for that OS and recommended CSDK 3.70.FC3. Joe confirmed 3.70.FC3 worked. Solved.

Hello, Our configuration is HP 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 11.04, 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 I am trying to install the Informix CSDK to connect to our Informix database but am having problems. I downloaded CSDK 3.50.FC4,5DE, untarred in the informix directory. When I run the install script ./ installclientsdk the screen refreshes, there are about 6 blanks lines then I get this message initializing InstallShield Wizard..... Extracting Bundled JRE Then I get the OS prompt. I get the same results when trying to only install the connector. I only want to be able to connect to our Informix 11.x DB. Does anyone know if this is indeed the correct Informix client sdk to use for Ubuntu 64-bit Linux 11.04? Has anyone else run into this problem and/or know how to resolve? Thanks in advance. Joe
Try: installclientsdk -i console Art Art S.

Art. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried -console & -legacy both the the same results.

CSDK 3.50.FC4 is not certified for Ubuntu 10.04. Please try version 3.70.FC3 available at http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/search.jsp?rs=ifxdl . See CSDK System Requirements at https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=630&uid=swg27016673 .

Hi Andreas, Version 3.70.FC3 worked for me with this configuration. Thanks for the suggestion!
